[Zope] Re: Log Rotation

Sorry for answering in private, but I do not want to blur the zope list
with Debian stuff.  Feel free to quote me anywhere you want in public.

By the way, this is a long standing bug in the Zope package:
See bugs #57799, #60533, #71923 and #100158.

This file is empty since one month for me which is really strange.
Any hint whether this might be caused because of my log rotation
procedure:

  ~> cat /etc/logrotate.d/zope
  /var/lib/zope/var/Z2.log {
	notifempty
	daily
	rotate 7
	missingok
	compress
  }

I've thought this would be the right thing to do but you did a different
proposal ...

Hmmm, I do not have such a file on my installation?  What is logged here?

Is it really necessary to restart Zope?  This seems really strange to me
and I would think this is a real bug in Zope.

Is there any other option to run a rock solid Linux??

Kind regards
