Hi,
I suspect I've asked this before:
Quoting the man page:
-w file Write log entries to file instead of displaying
them. The
file will be overwritten unless the -a option was
specified.
If varnishncsa receives a SIGHUP while writing to a
file, it
will reopen the file, allowing the old one to be
rotated
away.
Put shortly, varnishncsa seems to totally ignore HUP signals. No log
file reopening takes place. I see from the source that code is there
to handle it, but I lack the skills and time to figure out why it's
not hit, or not working as (I) expect(ed).
I remember trying this some time ago as well, while varnish 1.0 was
the hotness, and found the same behavior. I've meanwhile resorted to
writing to a fifo buffer and reading from there using flog. Not
pretty, but it works.
