In my crontab I have this line:
00 4 * * * root /usr/sbin/service cyrus-imapd restart

First I see many of this lines in /var/log/mail.log:
Sep 25 04:00:01 sigmund cyrus/imap[21598]: graceful shutdown

Then I see this between those lines this:
-----
Sep 25 04:00:02 sigmund cyrus/idled[5844]: graceful shutdown initiated
by unexpected process 5838 (/usr/sbin/cyrmaster -l 32 -C /etc/imapd.conf
-M /etc/cyrus.conf)
Sep 25 04:00:02 sigmund cyrus/imaps[16434]: IDLE: error sending message
DONE to idled for mailbox user.nospam.Junk: Connection refused.
-----

This line:
Sep 25 04:00:02 sigmund cyrus/master[5838]: process type:SERVICE
name:notify path:/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/notifyd age:85080.426s pid:6024
exited, status 75

Many of these lines:
Sep 25 04:00:02 sigmund cyrus/master[5838]: process type:SERVICE
name:imap path:/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd age:85073.234s pid:6027 exited,
status 75

Then this:

So you can see imap is active after 25 minutes...

START {
        # do not delete this entry!
        recover         cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus ctl_cyrusdb -r"

        # this is only necessary if idlemethod is set to "idled" in
        # imapd.conf
        idled           cmd="idled"

        # this is useful on backend nodes of a Murder cluster
        # it causes the backend to syncronize its mailbox list with
        # the mupdate master upon startup
        #mupdatepush   cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus ctl_mboxlist -m"

        # this is recommended if using duplicate delivery suppression
        delprune        cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 3"
        # this is recommended if caching TLS sessions
        tlsprune        cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus tls_prune"
}

Thanks for you help!
