From the keyboard of Marcel Moolenaar: > Below is a small set of patches to change the behaviour of isdnd when it's > send a SIGUSR1 signal. Without the patches, isdnd simply closes and reopens > the acctfile and logfile (if applicable). With the patches, isdnd closes the > files and renames them, after which fresh files are created. The idea behind isdnd's current behaviour is to have a shell script which renames isdnd's log file and then send a SIGUSR1 signal to isdnd. The advantage i see with that approach is, that the new name of the logfiles is freely choosable whereas the patch has hardcoded names which are not available to a shell script (if the name in isdnd changes, the script has to be modified). On the other side, the advantage of the patch is that the rename is under control of isdnd which makes it (more) atomic.
