Bug 408543 – sys-process/acct-6.5.5-r2: logrotate file contains invalid postrotate command

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Savchenko 2012-03-17 02:48:07 UTC]

Hello,

In acct-acct-6.5.5-r2 /etc/logrotate.d/acct contains the following:
postrotate
                /etc/init.d/acct reload > /dev/null 2>&1

Though there is not reload action in the init script and accounting will never be written to a new file.

Possible solutions are:
1) replace reload by restart, but this may miss some events from accounting;

2) better solution will be just run
accton "${ACCT_LOG}"
This will do the job, but runscript will not allow to use start twice, so reload action must be implemented.

Add reload action to the init script.

Ooops, this was fixed already, but without version bump, that's why I missed this fix.
