Перезапуск rsyslog снова посылает журналы снова

The freezing of log transmission aspect of this problem appears to likely be due to a bug in the way rsyslog is configured out of the box with 'buntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/940030

I was also able to find an interesting post on expertsexchange: www.expert-sex-change.com/OS/Linux/Administration/Q_27511414.html:

I have adjusted the permissions on /var/spool/rsyslog to be owned by user "syslog". I've tested for duplicate transmissions after applying this change and it seems to have fixed the problem. If the problem re-emerges or I find out that this didn't fix it, I will return here and update the answer.

SOLUTION:

$ sudo chown syslog /var/spool/rsyslog
