Dell OpenManage and their TTY logs

[Tobias Sandhaas]

Hello Kai,

as i have written this is not working, because after
the rotation (see the different variants i have tried)
the rotated logfile is recreated with exactly the same
file size and content. The recreation will take place
from a few minutes till a few hours after the rotation.

Please check the (content-)timestamps in your own
rotated logfiles, if your rotation is really working.

Regards
Tobias Sandhaas
