Hi,

by default the logrotate configuration calls rsyslog-rotate after
rotation, which by default sends HUP to all rsyslog service's
processes, including the (long run) processes of omprog module.

That behavior bypasses the mean of 'hup.signal' omprog action's
argument, thus one cannot decide to which process to propagate it (by
default don't propagate).

Please, send HUP only to main process in logrotate, eg.:

     systemctl kill -s HUP --kill-whom=main rsyslog.service

Makes sense.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Regards,
Michael
