Neither file has anything else I haven't seen before.
How many instances of rsyslog or comparable daemons are running on your system? Do you use logrotate or something similiar that restarts logging daemons? Check crontab -l and /etc/crontab for the tasks that usually run at 07:35, and then check either these tasks, or, if it is something like cron-daily, check /etc/cron.daily. If you indeed use logrotate, check /etc/logrotate.d and /etc/logrotate.conf if you have two lines saying that rsyslog should be restarted (maybe grep for rsyslog in the above-mentioned directories).
