Bug#698786: zope2.12: logrotate script ends with status code 1 if the last instance is not running

[Toomas Tamm]

Package: zope2.12
Version: 2.12.22-1~bpo60+1
Severity: normal


I have several zope2.12 instances set up. The last one (alphabetically) of these
is currently not running, so the file /var/lib/zope2.12/instance/NAME/var/Z2.pid
does not exist.

The postrotate script defined in /etc/logrotate.d/zope2.12 checks for the
existence of this file, to see if the log file should be reopened. If the last
configured instance (in alphabetic order) does not have the Z2.pid file, the
postrotate script exits with exit code 1 and an e-mail is sent to root:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for '"/var/log/zope2.12/*/Z2.log" "/var/log/zope2.12/*/event.log" '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

While not show-stopping, these e-mails are annoying.

Note: I am running zope2.12 from backports under squeeze.
