asterisk users - Sep 2009 - OT - log rotation

Hi,

It seems Asterisk needs to be notified that log rotation happened tough
applications like astmanproxy or FOP doesn't need to be restarted (nor
notified of any rotation).
Is this personal observation true ?
How could this be explained ?

Regards

They don't use the log?

In logrotate we just add a command to be run after rotation to do:

asterisk -rx 'logger reload'

Nope :) As posted neither use the logs - although it may be possible 
that Asterisk has a problem if the file handle it has open ends up 
pointing at nothing.
