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 ^^.
