I've always used copytruncate for httpd logs and logrotate, never
bothered to send signals to apache at all...
sample config -
"/path/to/logs/*www*log" {
daily
rotate 1
nocompress
notifempty
copytruncate
missingok
sharedscripts
olddir /path/to/archivedir
postrotate
DATE=`date --date=Yesterday +%y%m%d`
cd /path/to/archivedir
for FOO in `ls *.1`
do
mv $FOO `echo $FOO | cut -f1 -d.`.$DATE.log
done
gzip -9 *.$DATE.log
sleep 60
sync
logger "[LOGROTATE] Rotated these logs: `echo
*.${DATE}.log.gz`"
endscript
}
