Hi, I am using FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p2.
Recently I switched from syslogd(8) to sysutils/rsyslog.
This is my rc.conf:
I noticed that every day, at midnight, I get a mail with:
If I understand correctly, such email is generated by newsyslog(8), due to this:
Since my newsyslog.conf(5) has such lines:
should I assume that every log is handled by newsyslog(8), and then I need to insert in /pid_file the rsyslog's pid filename?
Thank you

Code:

#
# Entries which do not specify the '/pid_file' field will cause the
# syslogd process to be signalled when that log file is rotated. This
# action is only appropriate for log files which are written to by the
# syslogd process (ie, files listed in /etc/syslog.conf). If there
# is no process which needs to be signalled when a given log file is
# rotated, then the entry for that file should include the 'N' flag.Since my newsyslog.conf(5) has such lines:
Code:
# logfilename [owner:group] mode count size when flags [/pid_file] [sig_num]
