Greetings; After several failures on Sunday mornings to properly rotate some logs generated by fetchmail, I give up and need help. logrotate can kill fetchmail ok, but cannot restart it, and I've now tried both of these invocations in the postrotate script, and both fail, sending me emails to that effect: system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 is not a valid context error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/fetchmail.log of '/var/log/fetchmail.log /var/log/procmail.log ' fetchmail: no process killed system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 is not a valid context error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/procmail.log of '/var/log/fetchmail.log /var/log/procmail.log ' I had tried your recommended launching line this week after the su gene -c version failed last week: runcon -t unconfined_t -- runuser -l -c "fetchmail -d 90 --fetchmailrc /home/gene/.fetchmailrc" gene Which generated the above message, and this one: su gene -c "fetchmail -d 90 --fetchmailrc /home/gene/.fetchmailrc" which works to restart it from a shell just fine. The runcon version works at bootup time just fine, so why can't I use it in a logrotation script? I think I see one problem though, with both logs named in the same script, its doing 2 killalls of fetchmail, so I'll make those 2 separate scripts I guess. Done. But how DO I relaunch fetchmail in the postrotate section? Also, in /etc/croon.daily, tmpwatch is having trouble, from the same email from cron as above: /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch: error: failed to lstat /tmp/.spamassassin5459PpduEPtmp: Permission denied What is this? I thought anything could use /tmp for anything... It exists: -rw------- 1 gene gene 3298 2008-01-07 20:49 .spamassassin5459PpduEPtmp Humm, from the cli: [root@coyote logrotate.d]# lstat /tmp/.spamassassin5459PpduEPtmp -bash: lstat: command not found But, take off the el and just run stat [root@coyote logrotate.d]# stat /tmp/.spamassassin5459PpduEPtmp File: `/tmp/.spamassassin5459PpduEPtmp' Size: 3298 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fe00h/65024d Inode: 26378244 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 500/ gene) Gid: ( 500/ gene) Access: 2008-02-01 02:24:19.000000000 -0500 Modify: 2008-01-07 20:49:23.000000000 -0500 Change: 2008-01-07 20:49:23.000000000 -0500 Typu in a script someplace?
