Hi,

thanks for the hint, I did a manuall (logrotate -f -v /etc/logrotate.conf) logrotate and get an error


error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron


But what causes this error?

syslogd is still running and the pid-file is in the right place

Regards

i would suggest running logrotate manually (you'll probably need to use
the -f flag to make it actually run), and see if you get any errors or
warnings. that *might* give you some ideas or hints

i'm assuming that you've confirmed that syslogd is (still) running
after  logrotate runs. if it is, do a "kill -HUP" on it. also, check
that it's pid file is in the location indicated by the
logroate.d/syslog script. if syslogd stops running when logrotate is
run, then running logrotate manually should give you a hint of what the
problem is.

After a /etc/init.d/syslog restart the logs are written until they have to be rotated, then no new entries are loged (The empty

Any ideas? What to check?


  Make sure /etc/logrotate.d/syslog is actually restarting syslog
  as  well.  Mine looks like this:

Mine /etc/logrotate.d/syslog looks exactly the same.

any more ideas?
