Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-41+deb7u1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi,
I recently added a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d script (mainly to prevent
updates from restarting services when I don't want them to be
restarted).
Since then, the daily logrotate cron reports these:
invoke-rc.d: action rotate is unknown, but proceeding anyway.
This is due to the rsyslog logrotate configuration, executing this
postrotate hook:
invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate
I have patched invoke-rc.d to add rotate to the list of known valid
actions to get rid of this error, and avoid getting spammed by the
daily cron.
Attached is a debdiff of my home-made package.
I hope this is good and you'll be able to incorporate it :)
Thanks for your work.
Colin

Running this in Debian unstable, I get:
# invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate
[ ok ] Closing open files: rsyslogd.
So I consider this issue fixed.
