Looking at some of the stuff in /etc/logrotate.d, I see entries like this in some of the configuration files:
postrotate /sbin/service privoxy reload 2> /dev/null || true
From the commandline, that doesn't work:
# /sbin/service privoxy reload 2> /dev/null || true Usage: /etc/init.d/privoxy {start|stop|restart}
Changing reload to restart does work:
]# /sbin/service privoxy restart 2> /dev/null || true Stopping Privoxy, OK. Starting Privoxy, OK.
I find "reload" in the httpd logrotate file as well:
postrotate /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
What am I failing to understand?
