@DaanHoogland There are many different solutions in place, some are
bash/python scripts that do `>/var/log/cloud.log` etc, some use `nohup` to keep
running and others are daemons that also log into the same file. There is no
easy way to make logrotate restart those without some refactoring.
Also, close to release I didn't want to refactor the whole thing, as we'll
have regression issues from that if we do it too quickly. This seems a safe fix
for now, we should refactor it in the next release. Using syslog could be a
simple solution, as that handles many of these scenarios already.
This is the best way to resolve the issue now IMHO.
