With rotating logs, there is a problem when the syslog is opened only
once (in the beginning). So open the log everytime we write
something, and close it directly after writing.
Gaah, this is ugly.
Is this something all the daemons need to deal with?
I have no idea, but it seems to fix a real issue.
logrotate supports sending a signal (typically SIGHUP) to the process
after it rotated the log. Couldn't we just re-open the log on SIGHUP?
Isn't the problem that git-daemon loses its connection to the syslog
daemon when logrotate sighups syslog?
It really shouldn't. The connection to the syslog daemon is just a
unix socket (/dev/log) which is used to send whatever passes for
UDP packets on unix domain sockets. Since the socket isn't re-created
by syslogd (well, a sane syslogd anyways), but rather just open()'ed
for reading, no program should ever need to reconnect.
