LogRotateWin / Discussion / General Discussion: Postrotate command not running

John Nichel - 2017-02-28

My Config:

D:\Logs\SERVER-07.log {
rotate 5
daily
prerotate
net stop MySQL57
endscript
postrotate
net start MySQL57
endscript
}

Running logrotate manually:

MySQL stops fine to allow the log to rotate, but nothing for postrotate.

Can you run again with the "-d" command line option added?

Ken: With 0.18 I'm getting the same as with with both pre and post with "net start/stop service_name", ditto same behavior with first/lastaction (from debug):

logrotate: read line firstaction
logrotate: Setting firstaction to True
logrotate: read line net stop syslog-ng
logrotate: read line endscript
logrotate: read line }

Service not stopping (nor starting). BTW (more a feature request) would love if somehow that was a blocking command, i.e. "Don't proceed to next rotation until action retursn positive error code or something" (mostly becuase some services take a minute or five to stop and I'm not sure how LR handles that)
