Greetings, If you were going to supplement your issues with a cron job, 6:00am wouldn't fix your problem for a whole day. Since logrotate runs at around 7:35AM, it would make more sense to trigger something like around 7:55AM. Sure it's 20 minutes of index-less-ness, but you can be assured it will be there.
Trying to start zebra again with the appropriate scripts will not cause a hiccup. Though, you'll want to redirect output to /dev/null, so you don't get flooded with cronjob emails.

I have tried both of the options discussed in bug # https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16885 (modify postrotate, and modify koha-stop-zebra) In my case, neither (or both) of them seems to be a "reliable" fix. Is there any way I could kludge together some sort of CRON job to reload the zerbra service daily ?? (at say 6:00AM) or would this be a bad thing to do ..... ie: if zebra IS running, will trying to load it again cause a major hiccup ?? any other ideas on this ?? With students returning soon, I'd really like to get this off my "to-do" list. :-) Thanks, -S On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 11:45 AM, Scott Owen <[email protected]> wrote: > Still no joy on this. > > Zebra still seems to not reload correctly. > > my /usr/sbin/koha-stop-zebra file looks like the following: > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > ---------------------------------------------------- > #!/bin/sh > # > # koha-stop-zebra - Stop Zebra for named Koha instances > # Copyright 2010 Catalyst IT, Ltd > # > # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify > # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by > # the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or > # (at your option) any later version. > # > # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, > # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of > # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
