Hi,
Sorry for my late reply.
I think being able to force rotation via jcmd seems like a good feature.
Files are currently opened in append mode so it should already be
possible to use external log rotation tools by copying and truncating
the files. Still I think it would be nice to provide the jcmd for
rotation as well.
I can see some small issues with the implementation, but we can deal
with that during the review.
Thanks,
Marcus

Hi all,
I contributed JDK-7090324: gclog rotation via external tool to be
synchronized with
logrotated tool on Linux.
I think JEP 158 is in progress.
However, this JEP does not contain log rotation via external tool in the
spec.
I want to rotate logs via jcmd in this JEP.
I've updated a patch for it:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ysuenaga/jvmlogging-logrotate/
This patch provides new option "rotate" in VM.log command.
If this change can be accepted, I will file it to JBS and send RFR.
Thanks,
Yasumasa
