I am have trouble running logrotate on debian testing. Every morning when
cron daily runs, logrotate becomes defunct. Here is the "ps" output:
root 24125 22098 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 24126 24125 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c test -x
/usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
root 24129 24126 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily
root 24169 24129 0 06:28 ? 00:00:00 [logrotate] <defunct>
However, when I run logrotate from the command line it works without any
problems (output below). My logrotate.conf is also included below.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks,
Chris.
