I performed the dissection and ran the resulting script from a root
prompt, and guess what? No errors. To further muddy the water, the
cron job which launches the dubious "shared postrotate script" didn't
throw an error last night after I ran it "manually."
Here's what I ran, gleaned as noted from
/etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server:
-=snip=-
test -x /usr/bin/mysqladmin || exit 0
# If this fails, check debian.conf!
export HOME=/etc/mysql/my.cnf
MYADMIN="/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf"
if [ -z "`$MYADMIN ping 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
# Really no mysqld or rather a missing debian-sys-maint user?
# If this occurs and is not a error please report a bug.
if ps cax | grep -q mysqld; then
exit 1
fi
else
$MYADMIN flush-logs
fi
errlogs=`ls /var/log/mysql.err* /var/log/mysql/mysql.err* 2>/dev/null`
if [ -n "$errlogs" ]; then
chown root:adm $errlogs
chmod 640 $errlogs
fi
-=snip=-
And that's all I have for now. Over and out.

No no no, my fish's name is Eric, Eric the fish. He's an halibut. I am
not a looney! Why should I be tarred with the epithet looney merely
because I have a pet halibut?
