The key point is that currently some sites may be relying on
weekly restarts and the current rename from FileLog to FileLog.old
to avoid filling a disk partition. I think a more sensible approach
in long term, for sites that choose to log to regular files,
is to just let the server append, and let the modern log rotate
tool of your choice deal with the log rotation.
perhaps the absolute minimum would be to implement a signal that causes
the log files to be closed and reopened just like a restart. this
could be issued weekly via bosserver to emulate the restart behavior.
people want new behavior like syslog, would need opt in and change
command line params (eventually switch to this as the default).
This signal already exists: "kill -HUP" is executed by a cron job at our site
each midnight to close all server logs. If you set mrafsStyleLogs you also
get nice date and time suffixes instead of ".old".
