/etc/cron.daily/logrotate: minidaemn: unrecognized service

Hi, I need a little help, since some days ago I receive this error message ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: minidaemn: unrecognized service error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/minidaemon.log of '/var/log/minidaemon.log ' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have reviewed and the minidaemn service is not on file logrotate.conf

# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

# use date as a suffix of the rotated file
dateext

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress

# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp and btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    minsize 1M
    rotate 1
}

/var/log/btmp {
    missingok
    monthly
    create 0600 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.

and file logrotate

#!/bin/sh
export TMPDIR=/var/spool/logrotate/tmp

/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
    /usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0

What could be causing this error? Thanks you.

Is the include present here: /etc/logrotate.d
Very clearly the error is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

minidaemn: unrecognized service
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/minidaemon.log of '/var/log/minidaemon.log '
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And it must be referenced in some portion of the logrotate config or includes.

Hello, the same thing happened to me and I can confirm the solution above. Just went to /etc/logrotate.d/minidaemon.conf
and changed the line below: /sbin/service minidaemn restart > /dev/null
to: /sbin/service minidaemon restart > /dev/null
There was an "o" missing, don't know why this is initially happened.

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate: minidaemn: unrecognized service
