FYI Anacron email error after last update

[jgeiger-itvocal]

After the last update update725 on a Centos 6 Asterisk 13 Freepbx 12, I get an email every night from cron saying:

Subject:Anacron job 'cron.daily' on pbx

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: asterisk:5 unknown option 'su' -- ignoring line
error: asterisk:5 unexpected text

To fix it I removed the su asterisk line. Then removed everything after create on that line. Is there any downside to my changes?

So it looks like this:

cat /etc/logrotate.d/asterisk
/var/log/asterisk/full {
   missingok
   rotate 8
   daily
   create
   postrotate
       /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
   endscript
}

@jgeiger-itvocal: See this thread for how the log rotate script should look and how to test it:

@wardmundy I've noticed that the logrotate patch doesnot get updated unless the old patch is removed by

chattr -i /etc/pbx/.update-guiU18
rm /etc/pbx/.update-guiU18

Then [exit] then login again.

Is there no way to have the update to the patches auto updated??
