Bug 402275 – Silence denyhosts restart in logrotate script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) 2012-02-05 19:04:42 UTC]

denyhosts is stopped prior to rotating the logs, then started again after rotating the logs. When cronjob output is emailed, this means email about the restarting. IMO the start/stop should be silent, and the logrotate should be updated to add the -q option to the init.d script command-line. Do you agree? I'm happy to patch it myself.
