I saw the SIGHUP to, but I can asure you that nobody has reloaded the
process manually.

I'm the sysadmin of this server and nobody but myself has logged in into
the server in a week.

You're right about this, I don't even think about the log rotation, I feel
silly. /etc/logrotate.d/monit

/var/log/monit.log {
        rotate 4
        weekly
        minsize 1M
        missingok
        create 640 root adm
        notifempty
        compress
        delaycompress
        postrotate
                invoke-rc.d monit reload > /dev/null
        endscript
}

And also, ls -lh /var/log/monit*

-rw-r----- 1 root      adm       40K Jun 18 12:05 monit.log
-rw-r----- 1 root      adm      1.0M Jun 18 06:46 monit.log.1

Thank you again.

Guido.-
