From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Weekly log rotation script fails since I changed my root shell to tcsh. I get the following message in my email every week: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: 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 When I run the command in postrotate command in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog using a bash -c it operates fine. Example: bash -c '/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null' No error is generated and the new file starts to get written to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change root shell 'chsh -s /bin/tcsh' 2. Wait for weekly log rotation to happen. 3. Get error in email. Actual Results: Received error in email and logs were not properly rotated. Expected Results: Logs should have been properly rotated. Additional info:
