      When a system is upgraded from RHEL 7 to 8 the default pid file of rsyslog changes from /var/run/syslogd.pid to /var/run/rsyslogd.pid , presumably because the default file of rsyslog is changed. This causes logrotate to fail HUP-ing it as it looks for the pid in the wrong location

      In /etc/logrotate.d/syslog :

      /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
