proposed patch
I think this patch could fix your problem. If "sharedscripts" is not specified in config file, currently rotated file is passed as arg1 to postrotate/prerotate script. If "sharedscripts" is specified, old behaviour is used (whole pattern is passed to postrotate/prerotate script).
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was erroneously denied for the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The error has been fixed and this request has been re-proposed for the current release. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-0816.html *** Bug 738275 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 738276 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Hello, the logrotate package was updated to version logrotate-3.7.4-9 as of advisory RHBA-2008:0881-3 Now the problem with the missing postrotate and prerotate argument is getting worse. Because now the argument is a list of _all_ logfiles which are rotated. BUT IT SHOULD BE the first argument - the _one_ logfile that is rotated at this invocation. Example for an postrotate script as running fine in nearly all RHEL and RHL releases before but now it is useless: /var/log/xxx/*.log /var/log/xxx/debug { daily rotate 7 missingok ifempty compress delaycompress create lastaction service yyy condrestart &>/dev/null service yyy condrestart &>/dev/null endscript postrotate [ -f $1.7.gz ] && gzip -dc $1.7.gz | bzip2 >> $1.archive.bz2 && rm $1.7.gz exit 0 endscript } arg1 holds "/var/log/lpis/*.log" on every invocation :-( Comment from Assignee on reopen of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445554 was ... the referenced bug has been opened by the Support Engineering (i.e., on behalf of the paying customer), I'm not going to re-open it. If you have a valid subscription, please go through the standard support channels. If not then you may file a new bug yourself and hope for the best. I'm really sorry. Also note that you have been using an undocumented feature which always comes at risk. Another bad news -- even though I'm still the logrotate upstream developer, I don't maintain it in RHEL any more and I even left the Engineering department. So again: if you don't have a valid subscription your best chance is to file a new bug. ... Kind Regards, Roland
