I use currently dovecot12 from obs://build.opensuse.org/server:mail repository, but this is a very old bug, also availabe in the oss repo dovecot, and previous suse versions too... On my servers, long time ago i need to create a watchdog script, which is check dovecot processes, and start the daemon if not available. I dont know on whats depend these event, but the time betwheen these dieds is very differents. Sometimes works reload for weeks or months correcly, but it occour, that more day in a week. (I know exactly, when it happens, because my script send an email if dovecot needed to start after logrotate). Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use dovecot daemon 2. sometimes on reload, it happens to died. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Dovecot logging into files directly. The relevant lines from dovecot.conf: log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot_info 2. Yeah. As i said, not every rotate causes died. The logrotate config for these files: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot /var/log/dovecot/dovecot_info { compress create 660 root vmail missingok dateext maxage 365 rotate 99 #size=+2048k daily notifempty copytruncate postrotate /etc/init.d/dovecot reload > /dev/null endscript } 3. Nothing error except this line as I pasted above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I would *not* use copytruncate. my suggestion would be: [[[ /var/log/dovecot/dovecot /var/log/dovecot/dovecot_info { compress create 660 root vmail missingok dateext maxage 365 rotate 99 #size=+2048k daily notifempty sharedscripts postrotate killproc -USR1 /usr/sbin/dovecot > /dev/null endscript } ]]] please test if that works better for you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
