Re: logcheck and bug #657641

Thanks for this Brian, I've patched logcheck as you suggested and left it running overnight to see what happens. There is no change in its behaviour, so later on I'll reboot and see if that fixes it.

Thanks again

Sharon.

Open /sbin/logcheck in an editor. Find

if [ -n "$LOCK" ]; then
debug "cleanup: Killing lockfile-touch - $LOCK"
kill "$LOCK" && unset LOCK
fi

Replace the third line with

kill -0 $LOCK && kill "$LOCK" && unset LOCK
