CouchDB builds a logrotate script already, of the form;
/usr/local/var/log/couchdb/*.log {
weekly
rotate 10
copytruncate
delaycompress
compress
notifempty
missingok
}
The actual path varies based on your install dir, of course. The
'copytruncate' option is the most important as couchdb keeps the log
file open at all times.
