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 by
allowing their automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, logrotate ignored the "maillast" directive when compression was in
use. Consequently, when compression and the "maillast" directive were used, the
name of the rotated file was in the email subject instead of the name of the
file removed by logrotate. Logrotate has been amended to respect "maillast" as
expected, even when compression is used. As a result, logrotate sets the subject
to the file which is going to be removed by logrotate in the described case.
(BZ#1267557)
Users of logrotate are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
