Title:
  logrotate error on rotating winbind

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I frequently get the following error from logrotate on some of my
  12.04 LTS machines.

   /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
   logrotate_script: line 1: kill: (1660) - No such process
   error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/samba/log.winbindd of '/var/log/samba/log.winbindd '
   run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

  /etc/logrotate.d/winbind has the default content shown below.
  The kill command returns an error if for whatever reason the PID listed in /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid is not running.

  Thus the kill line should be improved to something like
    [ -f /var/run/samba/winbind.pid ]  && { PID=$(cat /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid) ; ps -p $PID | grep -q $PID && kill -HUP $PID ; }

  /var/log/samba/log.winbindd {
          weekly
          missingok
          rotate 7
          postrotate
          [ ! -f /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid ] || kill -HUP `cat /var/run/samba/winbindd.pid`
          endscript
          compress
          notifempty
  }
