Well, I am trying the second solution (see my attached file for rsyslog
and logrotate). For now it seems to work. I had to use local6 as syslog
facility because local7 was used by aiccu. For now I use the mythtv user
as logfile owner, but I don’t know if this is necessary with syslog
logging. It doesn’t matter that the backend is running as mythtv anymore
and it will simplify the rsyslog configuration, because you don’t have to
switch users.
Shade and sweet water!
