We're running Broker 6.0.0.9 on AIX and I've noticed that the broker log has recently gone missing. We have the following entry in /etc/syslog.conf to redirect the logs to a certain location:
user.debug /appllog/wmb/user.log rotate time 1w files 2 compress

This works in all other brokers in this cluster, and the configurations are the same, but for some reason isn't working on this one. I'm able to manually create the log as our broker user, so I know that it isn't a permissions issue. Has anyone ever run across this before?

If the syslogd is started, and then the log file is deleted, syslog will still have an open file handle on the file that no longer exists.

Recreating the file will not change this, unless you restart syslogd.

Thanks Jeff. I found some instructions in the manual. I ended up creating the file, then had the unix admin run the following commands:

touch /appllog/wmb/user.log
chown root:mqbrkrs /appllog/wmb/user.log
chmod 640 /appllog/wmb/user.log
refresh -s syslogd

Once I recycled broker, it started logging again.
