#937864 — Bug#918824: distributed-net: logorate scipt attempts to call unimplemented "reload" target in /etc/init.d/distributed-net

Package: distributed-net
Version: 2.9112.521-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Every week, distributed-net causes the following email to be sent:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
/etc/init.d/distributed-net: 165: /etc/init.d/distributed-net: 3: Bad file descriptor
invoke-rc.d: initscript distributed-net, action "reload" failed.
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/distributed-net.log of '/var/log/distributed-net.log '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1


There are a couple of reasons for this.

The first is that /etc/logrotate.d/distributed-net contains the line 
"invoke-rc.d distributed-net reload >/dev/null", but "reload" is not 
implemented in /etc/init.d/distributed-net, despite that script's usage 
message claiming that it is.

The other reason is that when called with an unrecognised parameter, 
/etc/logrotate.d/distributed-net attempts to run line 165:
"echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload|fetch|flush|update}" >&3",
but file descriptor 3 does not exist. I presume that it's trying to redirect 
to stderr and that the >&3 should be >&2. Also the string claims that "reload" 
is a valid parameter, which it isn't.

Thanks,

Roger
