Please don't. Use a crontab by all means but just use the main log file and enable additional debugging (-xx). As of 2.2.1 you can use the radmin control socket to reopen the log file handle without restarting the server, or sending a -HUP. It's not just the fact you'll kill any EAP auth sessions in progress, but you'll will clear out any cached entries (rlm_cache), and where proxying is being performed upstream server state will be lost. It's also dangerous in that if someone has messed with the configurations, or overwritten the radiusd/freeradius(debian) binary you'll experience an unexpected migration to the new binary/config on next restart.
