Public bug reported:
in nginx-common package there's the script to rotate nginx logs but it does
not work as intended:
it does rename the log but nginx keeps writing on that one.
this is because -USR1 signal doesn't seem to work, you have to use -HUP
and then nginx will close and reopen logs files (without resetting
uptime which is nice for detecting if webserver is stable or not) .
so i had to change my /etc/logrotate.d/nginx script from:
postrotate
[ -s /run/nginx.pid ] && kill -USR1 `cat /run/nginx.pid`
endscript
to
postrotate
/etc/init.d/nginx reload
endscript
to make it properly rotate log files.
