I'm Looking for some input on a possible syslog bug on feisty. I'd like to know whether this suspected 'bug' affects other users as well as my machine.
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd script causes syslogging to halt when it's run (The script is run as a daily cron job to rotate logs)
In the end, the script should restart the syslog daemon, but it fails to do so, effectively killing logging.
I was able to 'quick-fix' it by editing the script:
/etc/init.d/sysklogd reload-or-restart > /dev/null
to
/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart > /dev/null
(forcing a restart instead of reloading)
Before I dive deeper into it, I'd like to know whether the 'bug' affects all machines or is there just something wrong on my system
Thanks
(P.S. I noticed there was an old similar dapper bug report on launchpad)
