Bug Description
The logrotate file supplied can not work with Upstart or systemd because it calls `service rsyslog rotate` -- neither support custom actions. Instead a custom script to send SIGHUP to rsyslog depending on the init system should be used. It can just use
* `initctl reload rsyslog` with Upstart
* `systemctl kill --signal=SIGHUP --kill-who=main rsyslog.service` with systemd
* `/etc/init.

To post a comment you must log in.
This bug no longer exists in Ubuntu 16.04, as the rsyslog rotate script (inherited from the Debian package) handles both systemd and sysvinit based systems:
$ more /usr/lib/
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
systemctl kill -s HUP rsyslog.service
else
invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null
fi
As such, I'm updating the status on this to Invalid.
