#12621 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

Mythbackend claims it rotates logs on SIGHUP, but it doesn't

Reported by: goeran@… Owned by: John Poet <jpoet@…>
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.28
Component: MythTV - General Version: 0.27.4

Description

The output of mythbackend --help claims the process will reload the log file when it receives a HUP signal. Several pages in the wiki also gives instructions on sending HUP signals in logrotate scripts.

But that rotation does not happen. Actually, mythbackend simply ignores the signal, judging by the contents of /proc/<pid>/status. I've taken a look in the code, and the call to ignore the signal is easily found in mythbackend/main.cpp. I've tried find in the code some other way to trigger a log reopen but haven't seen anything. Is there a way?
