Hi, everybody!

I was wonderring if there is a way to make logrotate work with postgres
logs?
More precisely, the question is - is there any way to tell a running
postmaster process to reopen its log file?
I tried kill -HUP ... but that doesn't seem to do anything...

Is there just no way to do what I want?

Docs say pipe into logrotate:
