I assume you are using logrotate, and have the /etc/logrotate.d/kernel
file? I guess the 'compytruncate' is misspelled and should be
'copytruncate'. And 'endscript' is used after using 'prerotate' or
'postrotate', which you probably do not have.
You are right: I just quickly created logrotate config for kernel
by copying from other config, misspeled that "compytruncate",
erased "postrotate" script but forgot to delete "endscript".
I completely forgot about this change, and when I received
email with "error: kernel" I immediatelly thought of some
kernel misconfiguration...
Something like that, I never used logrotate by myself. See the man page
for more information.
Let me ask: how do you deal with /var/log/wtmp? I think it does not
go through syslog, and even it it does, it is not easy to process it
whit that syslog-macro because it is not pure text file. Do you
let it grow forever? Or how do you transfer it to log-server?
