Description of problem: The privoxy deamon is killed after rotating log files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): privoxy-3.0.3-9.2.1 (kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5, logrotate-3.7.3-2.2.1, vixie-cron-4.1-54.FC5, crontabs-1.10-7.1, bash-3.1-6.2, util-linux-2.13-0.20.1) How reproducible: Allow privoxy log file or cookie jar to reach maximum size (default 1M) and allow logrotate to run from cron. Steps to Reproduce: 0. Reduce the limit file size in /etc/logrotate.d/privoxy and modify /etc/crontab times for debugging. 1. Run privoxy. 2. Generate some log information from privoxy. 3. Run the daily cron jobs. 4. Check the state of the privoxy daemon. Actual results: privoxy daemon no longer running. /var/log/privoxy/logfile: May 25 07:35:57 Privoxy(-1209034080) Info: Privoxy version 3.0.3 May 25 07:35:57 Privoxy(-1209034080) Info: Program name: /usr/sbin/privoxy May 25 07:35:57 Privoxy(-1240507488) Info: exiting by signal 6 .. bye This is the problem -----------------------------------------^ That siganl was supposed to be SIGHUP (1)! Expected results: The logrotate script should signal privoxy to reload. Should be seeing SIGHUP (1) and not SIGABRT (6). Additional info: It appears that the various shells - cron, logrotate, logrotate-postrotate etc. end up using /bin/kill rather than the bash built-in at some point. Changing the privoxy init script to use generic syntax appears to fix the problem on FC5 i686-smp at least. # diff -u /etc/init.d/privoxy.orig /etc/init.d/privoxy --- /etc/init.d/privoxy.orig 2006-05-25 11:47:31.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/init.d/privoxy 2006-05-25 12:05:29.000000000 +0100 @@ -234,7 +234,7 @@ ;; reload) if [ -f $PRIVOXY_PID ] ; then - kill -HUP `cat $PRIVOXY_PID` + kill -s HUP `cat $PRIVOXY_PID` RETVAL=$? fi ;;
