Bug Description
Binary package hint: rsyslog
Package: rsyslog 4.2.0-2ubuntu8
Uname : 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:22:14 UTC 2010 i686 unknown GNU/Linux
Distro: Lucid (10.04.1 LTS)
On getting a reload (e.g. from sudo reload rsyslog, or from log rotation) rsyslogd closes all open logfiles, pipes, etc, but does not seem to reopen the fifo /dev/xconsole This means that xconsole then hangs.
Before reload:
# ls -l 6402/fd/
total 0

Some minutes after reload:

l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2010-08-03 10:21 8 -> /var/log/mail.err
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2010-08-03 10:21 9 -> /var/log/kern.log
It seems that files are only reopened when needed, but /dev/xconsole is not reopened, possibly because it is a named pipe.
