I'm pretty sure I've found a bug here - with the savelog script which is
called by the cron scripts. My logs were filled while testing and debugging
my VPN - so I just ran multicron-d from cron.daily to compress them. I ran
it a few times - just to get rid of the compressed files (and heck its
easier hitting up and enter than cd ing to the right directory and all).
Thats where I ran into problems I got output similar to this after the 2nd
or third run
# /etc/cron.daily/multicron-d
mv: ./daemon.log.3.gz: not a directory
mv: ./debug.2.gz: not a directory
mv: ./kern.log.2.gz: not a directory
mv: ./messages.2.gz: not a directory
mv: ./syslog.2.gz: not a directory
mv: ./user.log.2.gz: not a directory
mv: ./ppp.log.2.gz: not a directory
mv: ./pslave.log.2.gz: not a directory
looks like the -f switch does something a little different with this copy of
mv. Deleting the -f from savelog as shown below will fix it tho. The file
to edit is /usr/bin/savelog
old file
<snip>
# cycle log
if [ -f "$newname.$cycle$DOT_Z" ]; then
mv -f "$newname.$cycle$DOT_Z" \
"$newname.$oldcycle$DOT_Z"
fi
if [ -f "$newname.$cycle" ]; then
# file was not compressed. move it anyway
mv -f "$newname.$cycle" "$newname.$oldcycle"
fi
<snip>
new file
<snip>
# cycle log
if [ -f "$newname.$cycle$DOT_Z" ]; then
mv "$newname.$cycle$DOT_Z" \
"$newname.$oldcycle$DOT_Z"
fi
if [ -f "$newname.$cycle" ]; then
# file was not compressed. move it anyway
mv "$newname.$cycle" "$newname.$oldcycle"
fi
<snip>
Thats all,
Simon
