If I run the postrotate command by itself, it works.
However, it does not
work when I force the logrotate, as seen below:
[root@host log]# logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/messages
/var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log
/var/log/cron
Does anyone know why this is not working?
Maybe, but I had something similar which was caused because the /tmp partition mounted with noexec.
This is common - bugzilla.redhat.com has fair bit of information in
regards to it.
Easiest fix is, edit /etc/cron.daily/logrotate so that it contains :
export TMPDIR=/var/run before the /usr/sbin/logrotate line.
The only issue with this solution is - if you ever update logrotate this
config file will have to be re-edited
