After a google search the daemon stop if no mythtv process are
running. Strange feature...

Then the best is to use pkill instead of killall to kill the
mythlogserver process. Normally pkill doesn't return an error if the
process isn't running. What do you think ?

| /var/log/mythtv/*.log {
|     daily
|     rotate 7
|     notifempty
|     delaycompress
|     sharedscripts
|     compress
|     postrotate
|         pkill -HUP mythlogserver
|     endscript
|     su mythtv mythtv
| }
