I've just updated a few CentOS 5.3 servers to 5.4. One of them were a Apache
Webserver. Doing a diff/check on the new ".rpmnew" config files that are made,
I saw that the logrotate command for apache was changed. In 5.3 it did a
reload, but in 5.4 it does a hard kill:
CentOS 5.3:
/var/log/httpd/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
/sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
endscript
}
CentOS 5.4:
/var/log/httpd/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
Isn't this a bit harsh in 5.4? Wouldn't the 5.3 method be better?
