instead of doing a restart of rsyslog, send it a HUP, that will close all
outputs without it loosing it's place on inputs.
Rsyslog will also create it's output files when the first log arrives for them,
so you don't need to have the log rotation create the files.

Subject: [rsyslog] Hoow to reload the stat file used in imfile openings.
Hello Rsyslog community,
Iam monitoring some log files via imfile, and sending it to a remote location
via imudp.
The problem is that internal logrotating done with this line:
/var/log/incoming/*.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 52
dateext
notifempty
create 640 nginx adm
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/rsyslog restart >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
This causes later that the rsyslog stat file associated with each log looses
its place and Iam in need of manually deleting the /var/lib/rsyslog stat
files and then restarting rsyslog.
Is there a more conveniente way to tell rsyslog to do this flush without my
having to script this action manually in the postorate of logrotation?
Thanks.
Alex
