Issue with armbian-truncate-logs [odroid-HC1]

Armbianmonitor:

Hi,

I've got since several days an issue with armbian-truncate-logs. I received mail alerts from cron as this one,

error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log.hdd/mysql/mysql.log /var/log.hdd/mysql/mysql-slow.log
+/var/log.hdd/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log.hdd/mysql/error.log '
error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log.hdd/nginx/*.log '

How to debug that?

Check the definition of the postrotate command. Start your research here: /etc/logrotate.d/

In /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server I've got a mysql-server script:

/var/log.hdd/mysql/mysql.log /var/log.hdd/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log.hdd/mysql/mariadb-slow.log /var/log.hdd/mysql/error.log {
        daily
        rotate 7
        missingok
        create 640 mysql adm
        compress
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
          test -x /usr/bin/mysqladmin || exit 0
          if [ -f `my_print_defaults --mysqld | grep -m 1 -oP "pid-file=\K.+$"` ]; then
            # If this fails, check debian.conf!
            mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf --local flush-error-log \
              flush-engine-log flush-general-log flush-slow-log
          fi
 
        endscript
}

I don't know where to start...

Thank you for help.
