error running postrotate script

linux_bud · 04-05-2010, 01:37 AM

Hi,

I am getting an email as follows from cron.daily :

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

/sbin/killall -HUP radiusd
: line 1: /sbin/killall: No such file or directory
error: error running postrotate script for /var/log/vsftpd/logfile

I need have configured the following in /etc/logrotate.conf file :

weekly
rotate 4
create
include /etc/logrotate.d
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
/var/log/radius/logfile {
daily
rotate 4
postrotate
/sbin/killall -HUP vsftpd
endscript
}

I am not sure where i am going wrong. Please advise, if i need to make changes.

Perhaps the path you've specified to killall is wrong?

Code:

2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.centos.plus[root@www logrotate.d]# which killall
/usr/bin/killall
2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.centos.plus[root@www logrotate.d]#
