Package: logrotate Version: 3.7.1-5 Severity: wishlist
The argument passed to the script is the name that the log file was renamed from, rather than the one it has been renamed to. This requires that scripts are manually kept in sync with the extension, e.g. changing to dateext will break scripts looking for some.log.0. Since the parameter is poorly documented (see bug #423270), I would suggest to use a variable instead, e.g. something like FILE *fp = fdopen(fd, "w"); fprintf(fp, "#! /bin/sh\n\nROTATEDLOG=%s\n%s", finalName, script); where finalName is passed as a third argument to runScript. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /etc/logrotate.d total 100 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 368 2009-09-22 12:05 apache2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 381 2009-09-22 12:03 apache2~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84 2009-02-07 22:18 apt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 2007-03-14 15:46 aptitude -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 330 2008-03-07 22:36 atop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 215 2008-07-28 22:50 checksecurity -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 248 2009-01-13 17:09 cups -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 2007-01-02 11:22 dpkg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 273 2007-01-20 11:22 exim4-base -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94 2006-10-12 10:46 hibernate -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77 2008-10-11 02:14 hp-health -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77 2008-10-01 00:46 hp-snmp-agents -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 169 2007-02-11 17:06 mcelog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 837 2009-02-03 17:15 mysql-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 153 2007-01-29 16:30 postgresql-common -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1061 2008-03-07 22:36 psaccs_atop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 2008-03-07 22:36 psaccu_atop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 88 2008-07-23 03:50 razor -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68 2007-02-16 10:22 scrollkeeper -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108 2008-07-27 05:34 shorewall -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 2010-02-01 12:49 thermal_sensor -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167 2009-09-19 18:21 thermal_sensor~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135 2007-03-18 15:55 ulogd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 114 2006-10-02 11:03 unattended-upgrades -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 2006-10-05 02:27 wpa_action -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (800, 'stable'), (200, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26ale10 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages logrotate depends on: ii base-passwd 3.5.20 Debian base system master password ii cron 3.0pl1-105 management of regular background p ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries Versions of packages logrotate recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii mailx 1:20071201-3 Transitional package for mailx ren logrotate suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
