Logrotate throws this error
error: error reading top line of /var/lib/logrotate.status
since my /var partition filled up last night. The error
persits even though I have cleared space now.
/var/lib/logrotate.status is zero bytes
And all logging has stopped.
Is there a way to force it to recreate this file?
If I remember correctly.. You can delete the file and then run
logrotate -f. That should force it. I seem to recall that it
prefers no status file rather than a blank one, which is why I tossed
in the delete part.. It will recreate it on its own.
As far as logging.. Restarting syslog may help there.
