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

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

}
