After it rotates the file it sends t

Try stopping cron then starting it up again.
I've seen this happen sometimes on Solaris 8 systems. After I modify
crontab I've noticed cron doens't always pick up the changes. Restarting
cron picked up the changes.
Weird.

check the files in your /var/log directory for errors, espcially messages
and cron.

It's the log.* in /etc/logrotate.d/samba. I changed mine to explicitly
name the logs I want to rotate.
/var/log/samba/log.smb {
notifempty
missingok
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd
endscript
}
/var/log/samba/log.nmb {

Same thing happens to me... Somebody mentioned something about a newer
version of samba fixing it, but I think I have the newest...
I added a script in my cron.weekly, with the following:
rm -rf /var/log/samba/log.*.?.*
Every week, then, it cleans up all that crap.

Sometimes the post/pre rotate scripts will change the PWD. So it could be
looking for the file under a different directory.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at the Apache

instead of killall -HUP "restart now".
