Hello, I get (daily :-) mails from my cron.daily with the content
Cron <root@scw> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report / etc/cron.daily ) /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log / var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log/mysql/ error.log ' run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 When I run it locally root@scw:~# test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/ cron.daily ) root@scw:~# I do not hit the same issue. Do I need to specify ยท --password[=password], -p[password] The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the password value following the --password or -p option on the command line, mysqladmin prompts for one. Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. to get rid of the issue? Many thanks Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/
