I agree this is silly, but I just want to check if there is something
like this already -- I didn't find anything in the documentation, so I
doubt it.
If you need more detail... I haven't used rsyslog 6 or 7, but as of
version 5, with $HUPIsRestart finally gone:
If you delete/mv some of rsyslog's output files and then hit rsyslogd
with a HUP, it doesn't recreate the files until it actually has a
message to write to them. I like this, and without even looking at the
code it makes sense to me. However, there are those that cling to their
custom scripts and would like rsyslogd to immediately create 0-byte
files (for any missing output files) after a SIGHUP.
In any scenario I can imagine, using touch to manually create 0-byte
files should suffice, but still ... thought I'd ask.
Cheers.
