Cron root@vsftp run-parts /etc/cron.daily

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

Code:
/sbin/killall -HUP radiusd
: line 1: /sbin/killall: No such file or directory
error: error running postrotate script for /var/log/vsftpd/logfile 

the /etc/logrotate.conf file is as follows:
weekly
rotate 4
create
include /etc/logrotate.d
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}
/var/log/vsftpd/logfile {
        daily
        rotate 4
        postrotate
                /sbin/killall -HUP vsftpd
        endscript
