output of asterisk logger-reload contains NUL bytes

[Martin Emrich]

Binary package hint: asterisk

Package: asterisk-classic 1:1.2.7.1.dfsg-2ubuntu3.4
on Dapper i386

Hi!

"/etc/init.d/asterisk logger-reload" prints out NUL bytes before each line:

^M == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/logger.conf': Found
^@Asterisk Event Logger restarted
^@Asterisk Queue Logger restarted
^@Verbosity is at least 4

This script is called by logrotate, and logrotate's output is in turn sent via mail by cron. So the mail from cron still contains the NUL bytes.
When exim tries to deliver the report to my mailbox on cyrus, I get this in the mail log:

1IMcOL-0001Tq-JL ** <email address hidden> <email address hidden> R=local_user T=local_cyrus_delivery: LMTP error after end of data: 554 5.6.0 Message contains NUL characters

I don't know which package is to blame (asterisk,logrotate,cron,exim4,cyrus), so I'll start at the source...

Maybe you could add a "| sed -e 's/[\x0\xD]//igm'" in the initscript...

Ciao

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?

[Martin Emrich (emme)]

The package "asterisk-classic" is no longer part of 8.04, and on hardy, "/etc/init.d/asterisk logger-reload" produces no output at all. So I assume it is fixed at least since hardy.
