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.
Yes, it seems the name of the pid file has changed between rsyslog-7.4.10-5.fc21 and
rsyslog-8.8.0-2.fc22 but the associated logrotate file wasn't updated to reflect the
change.
So, you should file a bugzilla against rsyslog in F22.
