On Ubuntu 12.04,

There is the following error coming from anacron

logrotate_script: 2: logrotate_script: killall: not found
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log of '/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log /var/log/icinga2/debug.log '
logrotate_script: 2: logrotate_script: killall: not found
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/icinga2/debug.log of '/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log /var/log/icinga2/debug.log '

This can be fixed by installing the psmisc package as mentioned on the logrotate man page of Ubuntu here:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/logrotate.8.html

Furthermore, it shoud be investigated if the command can not be replaced by killall5 which is the killall command from SystemV.

Thanks

I'd prefer if we just used the PID file + kill(1). There's no reason why we should send SIGHUP to icinga2 instances other than the one that's being managed by the init script.
