Comment 0 for bug 1385868

I received the following in an email from Anacron:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
Usage: /etc/init.d/nmbd {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/samba/log.nmbd of '/var/log/samba/log.nmbd '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

On further investigation I found that the problem lies in the /etc/logrotate.d/samba file:

/var/log/samba/log.nmbd {
 weekly
 missingok
 rotate 7
 postrotate
  service nmbd reload 2>/dev/null
 endscript
 compress
 notifempty
}

where the postrotate script specifies a "reload", which the init script does not recognise.
