Description Alexander Kourakos 2000-10-12 19:17:16 UTC 
logrotate on RH7 runs the post/pre rotate scripts if sharedscripts is 
specified, even if none of the corresponding logs need rotating. This 
is different behavior than when sharedscripts is not specified.

Comment 2 Erik Troan 2000-10-12 23:15:45 UTC 
This isn't a bug -- this behavior is documented in the man page. If you give
me a patch that fixes this for shared pre scripts as well though, I'll apply it
as that's a nicer behavior. Running the pre w/o running the post is dirty
though.
