Description Florian Best

2014-12-12 12:10:14 CET

For 4.0-0 errata.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #37316 +++

For 3.2-4 errata.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #37159 +++

In case there is a crash with UMC, this problem leads to empty UMC log files:
* logrotate renames the log files → UMC server process still holds the file handle to the moved files
* after a day, logrotate compresses the log file → output into the old file handles is not written anymore to hard disk

In addition to Bug 36473, UMC server would need to handle the corresponding signal emitted by logrotate. 

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #36473 +++

logrotate does not trigger the running applications to reopen their logfiles. Thus they are still logging into already deleted files and the log entries are lost.
