Public bug reported:
Every day, I get a mail from the cron daemon that the logrotate script
for mysql failed to run:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
exists!
I don't know what the little telephone is supposed to imply, but the mail is
hugely annoying in the long run.
I only use mysql as a database for some projects I'm developing and therefore
rarely need to run it. Since this is a laptop, I prefer to keep it inactive
unless I need it. The logrotate script therefore usually can't connect to a
running mysql daemon.
I would expect the script to silently do nothing, since this is not an
error.
