F22 rsyslog and logrotate: looks like a bug to me - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Wednesday, 10 June 2015

I see this line in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog:

/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>/dev/null||true

The PID file for rsyslog is actually /var/run/rsyslogd.pid, therefore
once logrotate runs the new log files, e.g., messages, maillog, etc.,
are empty.  Sound like a bug to you all?

I'm running F22 kernel 4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64 and I just upgraded via
dnf.

Thanks,
