This is problematic because /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exits silently and nothing gets rotated without the administrator seeing anything. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf 2. check $?, should be 0 3. add "olddir DOESNOTEXIST" to /etc/logrotate.conf 4. # /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf 5. watch the output, should tell that directory does not exist 6. check $?, it is still 0 Expected Results: $? should be != 0 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If I add the olddir directive before the 'include /etc/logrotate.d' directive, error messages appear and logrotate returns 1. If I put it after the include directive, it is not taken into account (as expected) and returns 0. Could you please post your logrotate.conf, or even better some minimalistic version with which it is still reproducible? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

logrotate-3.7.5-48.1

Hmm, same release as I have used. Could you please run logrotate with '-v' option and post the output (and verify it still returns 0)?
