This ought to be working in 3.7.1 if the missingok directive has been given
before the glob occurs in the configuration file in /etc/logrotate.d/
if (rc == GLOB_ABORTED) {
if(newlog->flags & LOG_FLAG_MISSINGOK)
continue;
message(MESS_ERROR, "%s:%d glob failed for %s\n",
configFile, lineNum, argv[argNum]);
return 1;
}
Alternatively, "missingok" could be put in /etc/logrotate.conf.
