Package: logrotate Version: 3.7.7-3 Severity: wishlist In the manpage I can't find any way how the postrotate script can determine what logfile has just been run. That would be useful for e.g. processing that logfile before moving on to the next one. Without this, I can't really see the point of nosharedscripts, especially as it's the default (e.g. I don't want my apache being restarted 20 times if I have 10 vhosts, each with their own access and error logfiles).
It would be great if an environment variable was made available to the postrotate script so that the script can do something relevant to it. Something like LOGROTATED_LOG for example... This would then contain the name of the rotated log (including the .gz if nodelaycompress is in force). Something similar might also be done for the other script variations; postrotate with sharedscripts might have the full list of rotated logfiles made available, for example. Thanks!
