After a /etc/init.d/syslog restart the logs are written until they have to be rotated, then no new entries are loged (The empty logfile is touched). :-((

Any ideas? What to check?

Make sure /etc/logrotate.d/syslog is actually restarting syslog as well. Mine looks like this:


----------
/var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron {
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
----------


(there are missing log files from the first line compared to a stock install - I don't need those rotated, so I remove them.)
