I’ve experimented a bit with this for a package I made
at work (similar to d-push, so this would also apply to
it), which has long-running server-side PHP scripts under
a webserver:
/var/log/simkolab/*.log {
compress
create 0640 www-data adm
daily
delaycompress
missingok
notifempty
lastaction
if /usr/sbin/service apache2 status >/dev/null; then
(/usr/sbin/service apache2 stop || :)
/usr/sbin/service apache2 start
fi >/dev/null
endscript
rotate 255
sharedscripts
shred
start 0
}
This works at least under sysvinit. I don’t know whether this
is possible using invoke-rc.d though.
Stopping then starting is a hard requirement in this case, to
get rid of the long-running processes. (This also led to all
sorts of shenanigans in the {pre,post}{inst,rm} maintainer
scripts.)
But if there’s a better way to do that (note: we need it to run
on squeeze for another month or two, then wheezy), please advice ☺
