logrotate: ALERT exitted abnormally with [127]
HP-UX B.11.23 U 9000/800 636114222 unlimited-user license

I see this error in my logs sometimes and have very little info on it...

logrotate: ALERT exitted abnormally with [127]
I have searched online for some documentation and haven't been able to find much on this issue.

The only thing I found on one site is that if my /tmp folder was mounted noexec I think logrotate points to it and fails...but how can I be sure that logrotate points to this folder.

Anyone seen this before?

More Googling provides this tidbit - maybe you have no /usr/sbin/logrotate (cron and many admin scripts use bourne shell sh) to support /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
Code:
$ sh -c './logrotate ; echo $?'
sh: ./logrotate:  not found.
127
$

The /tmp/ bug was exit 1: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/arc...hp/t-6274.html

I have it in:

Quote:
/opt/logrotate/sbin/logrotate
And yeah there is a lot of info on that bug that displays error 1 but not much on 127.

Thanks

One logrotate calls the other, and if it is missing in sh, you get error 127.
