facstestlinux mgr]#  semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/opt/cspgateway/bin/CSP.log'
[root@facstestlinux mgr]# restorecon -v '/opt/cspgateway/bin/CSP.log'
restorecon reset /opt/cspgateway/bin/CSP.log context unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0->unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0
[root@facstestlinux mgr]#
