[debian-mysql] Bug#810968: Bug#810968: Bug#810968: mariadb-server-10.0: Logrotate exists 1 if a non-debian mysqld is running (e.g. containerized mysqld)

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello Lennart!

I asked core developers to review this and got this reply:

  It's probably alright for 10.0. But it's not completely suitable for 10.1.
  As contributor mentioned himself that there's a problem with this patch:
  "When mysqld is called without mysqld_safe".

  I'd rather simplify this script to something like (not tested):
  if [ -x /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ]; then
    $MYADMIN flush-logs || exit 1
  fi

What do you think?

I know your patch would fix an identified issue, but I am also afraid
of any regressions that might be introduced due to this very central
init file change, so I won't be including your patch just yet.
