[Pkg-zope-developers] Bug#369581: zope2.8: error running shared postrotate script

[Ross Boylan]

Package: zope2.8
Version: 2.8.6-1
Severity: normal

My logs show this error:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for "/var/log/zope2.8/*/Z2.log" "/var/log/zope2.8/*/event.log"
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

I've been getting similar errors on various versions of Zope on 2
different systems; they are very sporadic.  I thought the latest
upgrades had fixed this, but it seems not.

Here are some other messages, with dates
2005-11-05

all are followed immediately (i.e., on the next line) by
kill(1910, 12)
signal 12 sent to process 1910
with varying process numbers.

Even though these are from cron.daily, they are once a week, and so it
seems likely something in cron.weekly triggers them.  I hadn't noticed
the pattern til just now.
