I was doing some daily routine stuff and noticed that when my log files rotated

/list of rotated files

rotate 24
/reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
Am I missing something? When I manually restart rsyslog the new files already
there have stuff written and it goes back to normal....
Try doing a kill -HUP of rsyslog after a rotate has taken place and see if that
makes the new files start showing data.
If so, then the logrotate is not properly issuing the restart.
you may want to eliminate the redirects in your config and see if it given you
any errors when it restarts.
