logrotate has the ability to copy the logfile and truncate the existing so
that you may not have to restart/send signals to the process. It is called
copytruncate but it might loose some data between copying and truncating.
My package had a logrotate file, but it seems not to work using
copytruncate and I'm not sure why. Is distcc just appending to the file ?
/var/log/distccd.log {
missingok
copytruncate
notifempty
}
