Zimbra

Just upgraded to 5.0.11 and have ran into one problem so far. On restarting the services I ran into this issue:

Code:

zimbra@email:~$ zmcontrol status
Host email.pyxislab.com
        antispam                Running
        antivirus               Running

        logger                  Running
        mailbox                 Stopped
                zmmailboxdctl is not running.
        mta                     Running

        spell                   Running
        stats                   Running
zimbra@email:~$ zmcontrol stop

zimbra@email:~$ exit
logout
root@email:~# ps -ef | grep zimbra
zimbra    5274     1  0 02:01 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /tmp/.swatch_script.5155
zimbra    5357  5274  0 02:01 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmlogger
root      9636  4754  0 02:05 pts/0    00:00:00 grep zimbra

Upon killing the perl script running the /tmp/.swatch_script.* the other one dies and Zimbra will then start up fine.

Here is the script that is left running: swatch_script.txt

Anybody have an idea what is going on here? As far as I can tell from the log files there is nothing relevant in them.

Check permissions on /var/log/zimbra.log that it is owned by zimbra:zimbra.

Ah thank you very much, I also ran system updates at the same time and it looks like the logger got updated and changed pretty much all the logs to syslog:adm.

Edit: Will test tonight to verify that this fixed it but seems likely that it has.
