Synopsis
logrotate bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated logrotate packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of multiple log files,
allowing the automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Attempting to send a file to a specific e-mail address failed if the
"mailfirst" and "delaycompress" options were used at the same time. This was
because logrotate searched for a file with the "gz" suffix, however the file had
not yet been compressed. The underlying source code has been modified, and
logrotate correctly finds and sends the file under these circumstances.
(BZ#827570)
All users of logrotate are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
