Not really:

# systemctl restart rsyslog.service
# systemctl status rsyslog.service
rsyslog.service - System Logging Service
          Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service; enabled)
          Active: failed since Sat, 17 Sep 2011 09:30:29 +0000; 8s ago

Pidfile (and pid) already exist.

and:
# ps -eLF |grep rsys

rsyslogd -c 4 
...

And lsof shows that all relevant logs are touched by the rsyslog daemon. So
my guess is that only the systemd status message is bad, but the service is
running correctly.
