[Logcheck-devel] Bug#657641: /usr/sbin/logcheck: line 100: kill: (31667) - No such process

[Sharon Kimble]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.15
Followup-For: Bug #657641

Dear Maintainer,
I applied the patch as detailed here, but there is no change in the situation
even after rebooting, I am still getting lots of messages like this
'/usr/sbin/logcheck: line 100: kill: (26603) - No such process' . This is how I
installed the patch.
  if [ -n "$LOCK" ]; then
            debug "cleanup: Killing lockfile-touch - $LOCK"
            kill "$LOCK" && unset LOCK
        fi

Replace the third line with

        kill -0 $LOCK && kill "$LOCK" && unset LOCK

Thank you
Sharon.
