[gentoo-user] chrony logrotate script EOF error
Hi All,
The chrony installed logrotate script keeps erroring out:
logrotate_script: line 5: warning: here-document at line 2 delimited by end-
of-file (wanted `EOF')
Unrecognized command
This is the script:
/var/log/chrony/*.log {
sharedscripts
postrotate
PASSWORD=`awk '$1 ~ /^1$/ {print $2; exit}'
/etc/chrony/chrony.keys`
cat EOF | /usr/bin/chronyc | sed '/^200 OK$/d'
password $PASSWORD
cyclelogs
EOF
endscript
}
I do not understand the error. Is it telling me to add backticks? Where?

I don't know the logrotate syntax, but in bash this would not work if the
ending EOF has leading whitespace. Try replacing the '' by '-', then
whitespace is allowed.

Thanks! I've used your suggestion and will see if the error goes away.

Apparently, though unproven, at 12:11 on Sunday 22 August 2010, Mick did opine
thusly:

No, it's saying it wants EOF on a line all by itself with no leading
whitespace. That thing that looks like a backtick is an open quote.

Hmm ... so what should the corrected logrotate script look like then?
cat
EOF

cyclelogs
EOF
endscript
}

Apparently, though unproven, at 18:44 on Sunday 22 August 2010, Mick did opine thusly: No, it's saying it wants EOF on a line all by itself with no leading whitespace. That thing that looks like a backtick is an open quote. Hmm ... so what should the corrected logrotate script look like then? cat EOF | /usr/bin/chronyc | sed '/^200 OK$/d' password $PASSWORD cyclelogs EOF endscript } Change the other EOF instead. It's a here document, search for that phrase in man bash to find out more. It tells bash what will cause input redirection from stdin to end. The first EOF is the string to look for, the second one is the trigger that ends input -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
