Why was rsyslog.log created by valgrind automatically deleted?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Following valgrind command was executed on the system to log the output at /tmp/rsyslog.log:
# service rsyslog stop
# /usr/bin/valgrind --trace-children=yes --show-reachable=yes --track-origins=yes --read-var-info=yes --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=50 -v --log-file=/tmp/rsyslog.log /sbin/rsyslogd -i /var/run/syslogd.pid -c 5
  • But /tmp/rsyslog.log no longer exists.
  • Does valgrind delete the log file it is stopped or terminated?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • valgrind-3.6.0-5.el6
