I am using fstat(1) in an Apache log rotation script run via cron. The
idea is that the script signals Apache to close and re-open its log
files, then it loops on fstat until no process has the logs open. Then
the logs are analyzed and compressed.
The problem is that fstat randomly dies on signal 10. It is fairly
frequent, but I cannot repeat it from the command line and I can't find
a core file.
The relevant part of the script looks like this:
while [ `fstat $file_list|wc -l` -gt 1 ]; do
sleep 1
done
This happens on Apache versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.6 on 2.2.1-RELEASE and the
latest 2.2.6-STABLE.
