If you have Fedora Core 2, and recive mail from logrotate with
etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running postrotate script
error: error running postrotate script
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
then you may want try this fix.
mkdir /mytmp
then edit pico -w /etc/cron.daily/logrotate and set the TMPDIR so it looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
TMPDIR=/mytmp
export TMPDIR
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -t logrotate “ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]”
fi
exit 0
Then run : /etc/init.d/syslog restart
And run /etc/cron.daily/logrotate and see if it works.
