FC5 Postrotate Script Error???

Check the logrotate configuration files in /etc/logrotate.d for the one that refers to xferlog. In that file it will have a portion of script after the postrotate keyword, that's what you need to look at.

Ok, it is in the /etc/logrotate.d/proftpd config file... the file contains the script below... I no longer even use proftpd, should I just get rid of this file and the xferlogs since they're no longer in use??
/var/log/xferlog {
compress
missingok
postrotate
test -f /var/lock/subsys/proftpd && /usr/bin/killall -HUP proftpd
endscript
}
/var/log/proftpd/*.log {
compress
missingok
postrotate
test -f /var/lock/subsys/proftpd && /usr/bin/killall -HUP proftpd
endscript
}
/var/log/xferlog {
compress
missingok
postrotate
test -f /var/lock/subsys/proftpd && /usr/bin/killall -HUP proftpd
endscript
}
/var/log/proftpd/*.log {
compress
missingok
postrotate
test -f /var/lock/subsys/proftpd && /usr/bin/killall -HUP proftpd
endscript
}

Well, if you remove the proftpd package it should theoretically take the logrotate configuration file with it. But you can safely move/remove it individually if you prefer.
