I checked the FAQ and man page...
Is there a signal I can send to fetchmail to have it close
and reopen its logfile? (freopen(2))
Why? If I move "log" to "log.0" and then awake fetchmail it
continues to log to log.0. How can I get it to log to
"log"? I don't want to kill the daemon.
This seems like basic daemon/log behavior so I'm surprised
if I'm the first to ask about it. :-)
I use this script in /etc/logrotate.d/.It restarts the daemon instead
of just killing it.
I guess I forgot to mention I'm running fetchmail as myself (non-root).
But anyway, killing and starting fetchmail in my case requires me to
enter my password. I don't want to put my passwd in .fetchmailrc. Thus the
reason not to restart fetchmail.
What does /etc/rc.d/init.d/fetchmail contain?
TIA,
Sam
