Hi,

--logpath should create files named: mythbackend.20151025173138.1838.log etc.
At least mine always has.

I recall another user using logrotate with --logpath that kept
his BE always on (I shut down mine when idle.) His concern was
that mythbackend didn't restart the logging when logrotate sent a
signal to it.

If you restart the BE, I suspect your logs will reappear (with names
similar to the above.)
