--- Begin Message ---Package: rsyslog Version: 5.8.3-1 Severity: important recently rsyslogd began to fail to rotate logs as cron.daily reports this error /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: Usage: /etc/init.d/rsyslog {start|stop|rotate|restart|force-reload|status} invoke-rc.d: initscript rsyslog, action "reload" failed. error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/syslog of '/var/log/syslog ' run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 I think that either logrotate has to change action from 'reload' to 'force- reload' or rsyslogd has to support the 'reload' action falling back to the proper supported action, the latter action being preferable since it makes rsyslog more robust.

It no longer does a reload of its configuration, but simply closes all open files, which is a much more lightweight operation. To apply a changed configuration, rsyslogd needs to be restarted now. As a consequence, the reload action has been dropped from the init script. A new action called "rotate" was added to the init script, which signals rsyslogd to close all open files. This new action is used in the rsyslog logrotate configuration file.
