/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:invoke-rc.d: action rotate is unknown, but proceeding anyway

    Hello,


    since Update ISCP 1.3.15 to 1.3.16 there is an empty file in /etc/logrotate.d -> imscp


    I think it is the reason for the Cron Mail:

    I think it is the reason for the Cron Mail:

    You're wrong ;) The problem doesn't comes from the /etc/logrotate.d/imscp file which is expected to be empty by default.


    The problem comes from one of your logrotate script which invokes invoke-rc.d <service> rotate as action that is unknown by invoke-rc.d.


    Please, give us the result of the following command on the affected system:

    Shell-Script
    1. # grep -nr invoke-rc.d /etc/logrotate.d

    3. /etc/logrotate.d/apache2:11: invoke-rc.d apache2 reload > /dev/null

    Hi Nuxwin,


    thanks for help and putting me in the right direction. I try to reproduce this with a backup of IMSCP 1.3.15 and update it again. Now the error is not there. So it is not usefull to spend more time in research of this problem.


    Thanks al lot and sorry for the time you spend on helping me.

    Ok. If you get the problem again, just do: rm /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
    This file that is created by i-MSCP is normally deleted automatically after packages installation/update.


    See also:

    The file is not removed only if the i-MSCP installer stop before finishing installing/updating distribution packages

    Hi,


    startet the EC2 EBS Volume with the failure to test this out and i can confirm. The file was there and remove was the solution.


    Thank you
