The upstart job tries to start smbd in foreground mode but apparently fails to do so :
standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option Even if this foreground operation was to work, the man page says that child processes will still be created. Those too need to be notified about the log rotation IMO. One of the possible solutions is to use smbcontrol to notify all related daemons (smbd, nmbd and winbindd) : smbcontrol all reload-config This problem was apparently introduced in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=160076 where killall was removed from the logrotate configuration. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #160076 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=160076 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529290 Title: logrotate script needs to be updated for Upstart conversion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/529290/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
