Mark van Lent: Logrotate Plone instance

This means that this snippet in the logrotate configuration file:

${buildout:directory}/var/log/instance.log {
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -USR2 $(cat ${buildout:directory}/var/instance.pid)
    endscript
}

Can be replaced by this:

${buildout:directory}/var/log/instance.log {
    postrotate
        ${buildout:directory}/bin/instance logreopen
    endscript
}

I don't know how well-known this command is, but at least for me it was a new one.

I will write a review of the book soon, but I already wanted to share this with you. For those of you that cannot wait, check out the sample chapter from the Packt Publishing website.
