nsd users - Aug 2009 - Log file rotation

Hi all,


I'm using a script on cron to rotate nsd.log file. This require a daemon
hungup..


Changelog of 3.2.1 version show

"FEATURES:
- Allow file rotation on nsd.log."


How it work ? Is this configurable in nsd.conf ? 


Thanks,

If you give kill -HUP then NSD releases its hold on the logfile.
So move it away. then send the signal, and then you have the file
available for your perusal.

Hum...

I changed the log file configuration to file in chroot dir and when renames
nsd.log,
a new nsd.log is created by nsd program.

Thanks for tip.
