sorry, don't have an answer to your question, but the subject interests me and i have an add-on question:
if rsyslog is shutdown cleanly or receives HUP signal and re-opens files, does the imfile module know to restart reading the file from where it left off? Or does it just start from the beginning of the file all over again?

Trying to avoid a massive processing backlog of historical data!
