Package: distributed-net
Version: 2.9112.521-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
Every week, distributed-net causes the following email to be sent:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
/etc/init.d/distributed-net: 165: /etc/init.d/distributed-net: 3: Bad file
descriptor
invoke-rc.d: initscript distributed-net, action "reload" failed.
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for
/var/log/distributed-net.log of '/var/log/distributed-net.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
There are a couple of reasons for this.
The first is that /etc/logrotate.d/distributed-net contains the line
"invoke-rc.d distributed-net reload >/dev/null", but "reload" is not
implemented in /etc/init.d/distributed-net, despite that script's usage
message claiming that it is.
The other reason is that when called with an unrecognised parameter,
/etc/logrotate.d/distributed-net attempts to run line 165:
"echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME
{start|stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload|fetch|flush|update}" >&3",
but file descriptor 3 does not exist. I presume that it's trying to redirect
to stderr and that the >&3 should be >&2. Also the string claims that "reload"
is a valid parameter, which it isn't.
Thanks,
Roger
