Re: [CentOS] Logrotate in CentOS 5.4 more brutal (to httpd at least) than in 5.3?

I've just updated a few CentOS 5.3 servers to 5.4. One of them were a Apache Webserver. Doing a diff/check on the new ".rpmnew" config files that are made, I saw that the logrotate command for apache was changed. In 5.3 it did a reload, but in 5.4 it does a hard kill:

CentOS 5.3:

/var/log/httpd/*log {        /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true CentOS 5.4:

/var/log/httpd/*log {        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true

strange, because in my systems it does service reload logrotate-3.7.4-9
