I had done some more looking around and found a tip and they put this...
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null ||
true
I looked for any rsyslog.pid that was running on the server and when it went
looking for it. It couldn't find one. When I did a ps -aux |grep rsyslog it
came up with a pid number for /var/run/syslogd.pid
Kinda strange it reverts to that. Anywho I changed it to that and going to see
if that works. One question...what redirects are you referring to?

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.
