Le comportement par défaut de rsyslog consiste à ajouter des traces à un fichier journal existant .
Maintenant, j'ai vu (CentOs, Scientific Linux) que lorsque rsyslog est déjà en cours d'exécution, vous supprimez le fichier journal (par exemple celui dédié à la journalisation des traces de votre application), vous exécutez ensuite votre application, rsyslog ne créera pas de fichier journal et aucune trace ne sera enregistrée.
Existe-t-il une option de configuration qui peut indiquer à rsyslog de créer un fichier journal s'il n'est pas là avant d'y ajouter des traces?
Remarque : une opération service rsyslog restart
force la création d'un fichier journal vide.

# ### begin forwarding rule ###
# The statement between the begin ... end define a SINGLE forwarding
# rule. They belong together, do NOT split them. If you create multiple
# forwarding rules, duplicate the whole block!
# Remote Logging (we use TCP for reliable delivery)
#
# An on-disk queue is created for this action. If the remote host is
# down, messages are spooled to disk and sent when it is up again.
#$WorkDirectory /var/lib/rsyslog # where to place spool files
#$ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1 # unique name prefix for spool files
#$ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible)
#$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown
