http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626318 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626318#c0 Summary: logrotate cron job produces daily mail Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andi-nbz@firstfloor.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 Since I updated my system from 11.1 to 11.3 I get daily mail from the cron daemon for the logrotate cronjob This always was due the echo -n "Reload syslog service" in the syslog init script, which gets called from logrotate I think. I commented this now out, but perhaps it should be fixed somehow in logrotate Any output from this command results in a mail from cron Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- 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.

Sounds reasonable - I'll have a look into it. (In reply to comment #3)

It does not seem to be possible with current logrotate. What e.g. Debian uses (and openSUSE should use as well) is to redirect the stdout of postrotate scriptlets to /dev/null. Created request id 45383 (logrotate.syslog: redirect output of postrotate script to /dev/null) Assigning to syslogd maintainer - Werner, please review the request ^^.
