The logrotate scripts use HUP to restart the server. I don't think the USR1 would be
appropriate for log rotation - according to the Apache documentation:
"At present there is no way for a log rotation script using USR1 to know for certain
that all children writing the pre-restart log have finished. We suggest that you use a
suitable delay after sending the USR1 signal before you do anything with the old log."
