Re: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

Doh!  The postrotate script is in /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server:

  test -x /usr/bin/mysqladmin || exit 0

  # If this fails, check debian.conf! 
  export HOME=/etc/mysql/my.cnf
  MYADMIN="/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf"
  if [ -z "`$MYADMIN ping 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
    # Really no mysqld or rather a missing debian-sys-maint user?
    # If this occurs and is not a error please report a bug.
    if ps cax | grep -q mysqld; then
      exit 1
    fi 
  else
    $MYADMIN flush-logs
  fi

Now what could be causing the error?   Hmm....
