I woke up this morning to emails and phone calls. I didn't change anything dealing with the mysql server over the weekend, but it wasn't running this morning.There shouldn't be a reason why this process would go down and stay down. Here is the mysql file in logrotate.d.. Why is it trying to kill the process before and after rotation? Shouldn't this file be trying to restart the process after the rotation? /var/log/mysqld.log { missingok create 0640 mysql mysql prerotate [ -e /var/lock/subsys/mysqld ] && /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid 2> /dev/null ` || /bin/true endscript postrotate [ -e /var/lock/subsys/mysqld ] && /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid 2> /dev/null ` || /bin/true endscript } Jake McHenry Nittany Travel MIS Coordinator http://www.nittanytravel.com -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
