Hi

Has anyone used logrotate or simple use a cron job to send a SIGUSR1 to the process?

If I understand the twistd man page properly, the log file will be rotated on SIGUSR1, therefore I'm wont be able to use logrotate to do the rotation?

logrotate should rotate twistd logfiles just fine. It shuts down a process, moves its log files around, then restarts it.

Why you'd _want_ to rotate them this way, instead of just letting them automatically be rotated by twistd (which they will be), I dunno. Is there some feature logrotate has that twistd lacks that you're interested in?

Jp

When you say twisted will automatically rotate the log files, how does it do that? Will it automatically rotate the log files periodically? -Liming
