I could not find any documentation, if "reload" should start a not already
running service.
("9.3.2 Writing the scripts" in the Debian Policy Manual
(http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html) talks about this)
However, Apache does the same (via "apache2ctl graceful"):
$ sudo apache2ctl graceful
httpd not running, trying to start
But, apache2's logrotate script checks if it is running:
postrotate
if [ -f "`. /etc/apache2/envvars ; echo
${APACHE_PID_FILE:-/var/run/apache2.pid}`" ]; then
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null
fi
endscript
I think the same should get done for lighttpd's logrotate script, too.
I'm adding an apache2 task.

lighttpd reload executes restart (bad on logrotate!)
