David Lang 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...
you should not have logrotate calling stop and start, it should be doing a kill -HUP of the rsyslog process after it makes a copy of the files.
