Public bug reported: I frequently get the following error from logrotate on some of my 12.04 LTS machines.
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate: logrotate_script: line 1: kill: (1660) - No such process error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/samba/log.winbindd of '/var/log/samba/log.winbindd ' run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 /etc/logrotate.d/winbind has the default content shown below. The kill command returns an error if for whatever reason the PID listed in /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid is not running. Thus the kill line should be improved to something like [ -f /var/run/samba/winbind.pid ] && { PID=$(cat /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid) ; ps -p $PID | grep -q $PID && kill -HUP $PID ; } /var/log/samba/log.winbindd { weekly missingok rotate 7 postrotate [ ! -f /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid ] || kill -HUP `cat /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid` endscript compress notifempty } ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325821 Title: logrotate error on rotating winbind Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I frequently get the following error from logrotate on some of my 12.04 LTS machines. /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: logrotate_script: line 1: kill: (1660) - No such process error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/samba/log.winbindd of '/var/log/samba/log.winbindd ' run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 /etc/logrotate.d/winbind has the default content shown below.
