this sounds like there is something else that's starting rsyslog, other than 
the scripts you are showing below.

Hi David,

Thank you for your answer, in fact the rsyslog script is also called if a log 
rotation is necessary, see the /etc/logrotate.conf

---- /etc/logrotate.conf ---

create 0640 roche roche
compress

/home/roche/share/log/syslog {
    prerotate
        /etc/init.d/rsyslog stop
    endscript
    rotate 8
    size=50M
    missingok
    ifempty
    postrotate
        /etc/init.d/rsyslog start
    endscript
}

---- ! /etc/logrotate.conf ---

We could notice (ps aux | grep rsyslog) that the running rsyslog after power 
fail does not create the /tmp/.lock-rsyslog file despite the call with ps aux| 
grep rsyslog has exactly the same arguments!

I cannot think of another instance starting the rsyslog without using the 
/etc/init.d/rsyslog script...

Best Regards
