Public bug reported: [IMPACT]
Xenial uses systemd as default now, debian salsa 4a49edf26d405726041bee12a42d6f064145c87e, introduce a shell script, taking advantage of systemctl directly if systemd is active by still keeping Sysv init script as fallback only. While there is no 'real' impact, I think it make total sense for a systemd Xenial system, to use the systemctl approach for logrotation [TEST CASE] * On a Xenial active systemd system: Determine the script pick the right decision approach. # bash -vx /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate Run logrotate which contains 'include /etc/logrotate.d', thus will use the rsyslog log rotation information, now using '/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate' helper. # logrotate -vdf /etc/logrotate.conf Check if logs rotation happeneded in /var/log. # ls -altr /var/log * On a Xenial active upstart system: Determine the script pick the right decision approach. # bash -vx /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate Run logrotate which contains 'include /etc/logrotate.d', thus will use the rsyslog log rotation information, now using '/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate' helper. # logrotate -vdf /etc/logrotate.conf Check if logs rotation happeneded in /var/log. # ls -altr /var/log [POTENTIAL REGRESSION * None, this commit introduced a new shell script (rsyslog-rotate) which uses systemctl directly if systemd is active (default in Xenial) but keeps the original Sysv init script as fallback only. Meaning no behaviour change for users who decided not to use systemd on their Xenial system. /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate: 1) Check if existence of systemd, if yes; systemctl kill -s HUP rsyslog.service 2) Check if existence of systemd, if no ; invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null [OTHER INFO] * Salsa rsyslog repository: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/commit/4a49edf26d405726041bee12a42d6f064145c87e * First introduced: git describe --contains 4a49edf26d405726041bee12a42d6f064145c87e debian/8.27.0-4~1 * rmadison: => rsyslog | 8.16.0-1ubuntu3 | xenial rsyslog | 8.32.0-1ubuntu4 | bionic rsyslog | 8.32.0-1ubuntu5 | cosmic rsyslog | 8.32.0-1ubuntu7 | disco ** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Medium Assignee: Eric Desrochers (slashd) Status: In Progress ** Tags: sts ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Also affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: sts ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Eric Desrochers (slashd) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821582 Title: Don't rely on SysV init script in logrotate config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1821582/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
