Public bug reported: I received the following in an email from Anacron:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate: Usage: /etc/init.d/nmbd {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status} error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/samba/log.nmbd of '/var/log/samba/log.nmbd ' run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 On further investigation I found that the problem lies in the /etc/logrotate.d/samba file: /var/log/samba/log.nmbd { weekly missingok rotate 7 postrotate service nmbd reload 2>/dev/null endscript compress notifempty } where the postrotate script specifies a "reload", which the init script does not recognise.
