New Revision: 349807
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/349807

Log:
  Eliminate spurious periodic.daily error message for rotating accounting log.
  
  In 2011, r218961 removed local code for rotating logs in favor of using the
  rotate_log command in etc/rc.d/accounting.  If the accounting service is
  activated then subsequently de-activated in rc.conf but still remains active
  in periodic.conf, then you get an error message every day in the periodic
  jobs about being unable to rotate the logs.
  
  With this change to use "onerotate_log", the log rotation will happen the
  first time periodic daily runs after accounting was disabled but periodic
  accounting was left enabled.  After that happens once, the /var/account/acct
  will no longer exist, which results in a different path through the periodic
  code and no more error messages will appear (unless daily_show_badconfig is
  set, in which case the admin will be told that periodic security processing
  is enabled but the accounting file is not present).
  
  This is only a partial fix for the problems reported in PR 202203.
