RHBA-2010:0772 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
logrotate bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated logrotate package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of multiple log files,
allowing the automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files.
- Previously, when there was an error in one of the logrotate's configuration
files, logrotate stopped the whole rotation process. With this update, logrotate
only skips broken configuration files, and rotates logs defined in other
configuration files as usual. (BZ#642255)
All users of logrotate are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
