Package: coreutils Version: 8.1-1 Severity: normal I run tail -q --follow=name --retry -n 2 , tailing all log files in /var/log.
Starting I think with version 8.0, this has began to die approximatly
once a week.
Dec 20 11:15:16 gnu CRON[1789]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user
joey
tail: `/var/log/apache2/access.log' has become inaccessible: No such file or
directory
strace shows it is dying with SIGABRT. Probably because the log file is
briefly not present due to being rotated.
