It did have a sendmail child. I was able to kill the logrotate zombie and I received the email from the sendmail child. Based on the email, I determined that logrotate was have problems rotating the most recent access file for lighttpd. I moved the file out of the way and last night logrotate worked without problems. I will keep an eye on it and see if it becomes a problem again. Thanks, Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
