This was in root's mail on a newly-installed CentOS-5 system.

To: root@beauregard.localdomain Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ANSI_X3.4-1968" Subject: Anacron job for 'beauregard.localdomain' cron.daily /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: sa-update:3 unknown option 'notifyempty' -- ignoring line ^ | *

But after looking at the file in question, it sure appears to me that the "y" is the result of a "typo" on the part of logrotate -- and who ever heard of machines making typos!

root@beauregard logrotate.d]# cat sa-update /var/log/sa-update.log { monthly notifempty missingok } [root@beau

Perhaps the Menehune, speaking Jabberwocky? :-) At any rate, there are 16 files in /etc/logrotate.d containing a "notifempty" line and it hiccuped only the one time.
