Mongrel users - Apr 2007 - Mongrel cluster log rotation best practices

OK, maybe not even best practices, but at least, tested practices.
>From my reading thus far, it is evident I shouldn''t use Rails to
handle mongrel log rotation.  Fine, I''m sold on that.  The advice
I''m
seeing says that that one should use an external script to do this.
So my question is, what are people using?  What''s working well?
Simple bash scripts or compiled programs like logrotate?

Thanks in advance,

Sean

>From my comment:
I was doing something similar, but I''ve changed to using copytruncate
as well, as I don''t really care about losing requests (apache has
them)

# Rails development log:
/web/servers/site/shared/log/development.log {
 copytruncate
 daily
 missingok
 rotate 7
 compress
 delaycompress
}
