+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #579680 +++ 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 --- Additional comment from jkaluza on 2010-06-16 09:50:55 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=424455) 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).
