10 JohnMcPherson 1 [DansGuardian | http://dansguardian.org/] is a WebProxy with phrase based filtering, useful for schools or other institutions which can't afford to have children viewing pornography. It is [GPL]ed, but uses a weird scheme placing restrictions on the permission to download it for commercial users.

13 NoName 7 Chances are pretty good that it is failing during morning maintenance. The logrotate script is the one to blame here, and DansGuardian's poor ability to restart cleanly and quickly. I modified my __logrotate.d__ script (this is under [Debian] and might differ from other [LinuxDistribution]s) by doing the following:
10 JohnMcPherson 8
9 cat > /etc/logrotate.d/dansguardian << EOF
10 /var/log/dansguardian/access.log {
11 rotate 31
12 daily
13 prerotate
14 /etc/init.d/dansguardian stop || true
15 endscript
16 postrotate
17 sleep 2 && /etc/init.d/dansguardian start || \
18 (sleep 2; /etc/init.d/dansguardian start)
19 endscript
20 }
21 EOF

13 NoName 23 This just adds in a sleep and a second attempt to restart DansGuardian if the first fails (the || will execute only if the output from the init script is a fail code).
