Public bug reported:
The logrotate rules for log.smbd and log.nmbd assume that if
/usr/bin/smbcontrol can be run then samba can be restarted.
This ignores the fact that it is possible to have samba installed, but to have
it disabled (you may wish to only enable it for running tests, then disable it
again).
The result is:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
Can't find pid for destination 'smbd'
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for
/var/log/samba/log.smbd of '/var/log/samba/log.smbd '
Can't find pid for destination 'nmbd'
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for
/var/log/samba/log.nmbd of '/var/log/samba/log.nmbd '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1
Given that it may be disabled it would also make sense to include "notifempty"
in the rules. so that past ones don't get removed.
