Package: mailman Version: 1:2.1.9-7 When someone removes mailman without purging (which keeps config files), two of the files that are kept are /etc/logrotate.d/mailman and /var/run/mailman/mailman.pid. The pidfile is never changed and therefore still contains the last PID mailman had. The logrotate script uses that file to kill the process with the PID specified in the pidfile.
So if one removes mailman, the pidfile becomes stale, but the logrotator still works. This is why I (and I guess many others) got e-mails from cron saying "/etc/cron.daily/logrotate: sh: line 1: kill: (2815) - No such process" However, in the event that 2815 is actually a PID of an existing process, it isn't mailman (because we removed it), but it's still killed! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
