[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk log rotation

[Matteo Brancaleoni]

Hi.

Has anyone provided an easy way to rotate 
asterisk log files into /var/log/asterisk.
I want to do that, because I prefer
to have full logging enabled in the debug file
and the messages file, but could became pretty
big. Same apply for cdr-csv files.
I wanted to setup a logrotate rule, but was
thinking if I must use a kill -HUP to asterisk.
(never tried HUP with asterisk... don't know
if could be dangerous).
Or the log could be rotated without any HUP ?

Something like

/var/log/asterisk/debug {
    missingok
    postrotate
    compress
        /bin/killall -HUP asterisk 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}
