[Bug 1085838] [NEW] init-script fails to restart

[Thomas C.]

Public bug reported:

when I want to restart rsyslog it fails:

root at mail1:~# service rsyslog restart
stop: Unknown instance:
rsyslog start/running

It occurs many times. Possible it depend on logrotate, because every day
logging stops (all logfiles are empty), but rsyslog is still running.

The only thing I can do is to kill rsyslogd and start it again with the
service command.
