==> no more messages in syslog.
Note that for testing I disabled inclusion of logrotate.d in
logrotate.conf and just added one entry for syslog to logrotate.conf
directly:
# system-specific logs may be configured here
/var/log/syslog
{
postrotate
>-------reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
sharedscripts
}
Replacing the "reload" with "restart" works around the problem.
** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu)
