Description Sławomir Nizio 2014-04-23 14:09:09 UTC

This package installs systemd unit, yet its logrotate file assumes OpenRC.

Reproducible: Always

The following script should work:

# Logrotate file for acct

/var/account/pacct {
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        daily
        rotate 31
        create 0600 root root
        missingok
        postrotate
                systemctl try-restart acct
        endscript
}


Note that it doesn't work with openrc.

You could just do both.  Test for whether openrc is installed, and if so call the existing line.  Then test for whether systemctl exists and if so call the new one.

I wouldn't just call the init.d script - I'm not sure how that will behave if openrc isn't installed, and there is an effort underway to remove it from the system set.
