Description Denis Lisov 2012-01-15 17:56:01 UTC
Despite inatalling the systemd service file, rsyslog does not correctly interoperate with logrotate if started from systemd as the /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog config does not reload the systemd-started rsyslog instance

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Ultrabug gentoo-dev 2012-05-22 12:34:37 UTC
Hello Dennis, as I'm no systemd user myself would you maybe have a suggestion on how to handle this properly ?

Thanks
Comment 2 konduryan 2012-08-04 08:38:00 UTC
In /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog line:

/etc/init.d/rsyslog reload &>/dev/null || true

seems to be changed to:

systemctl reload-or-try-restart rsyslog.service &>/dev/null || true

un-CC'ing myself since I stepped down as co-maintainer of rsyslog
Comment 4 Enrico Tagliavini 2013-04-07 11:01:09 UTC
Same here with rsyslog 7.2.5.

There is another solution, working for both openrc and systemd:

kill -HUP $(cat /run/rsyslogd.pid) &>/dev/null || true

[which is what the openrc init script does].

This change should be applied to rsyslog.logrotate, postrotate command, associated with 2 files syslog and messages

My pleasure, thanks for your patience. Please not that this has been done on the rsyslog v7 branch only.
Comment 8 Enrico Tagliavini 2013-04-18 15:20:17 UTC
It makes perfect sense for version 7 only. The last time I tried the systemd unit files in branches 5 and 6 they were invalid for the systemd versions in the main portage tree. I have not checked if upstream fixed this or not. The lastest version does work anyway, so this is ok.
