apache-ssl logrotate entry

[George Karaolides <george.karaolides@planitis.net>]

Hi all,

I have been having problems with the woody apache-ssl package.  The
server sometimes dies on me when logrotate is run.

The logrotate.d entry for apache-ssl includes a postrotate script:

        postrotate
                /etc/init.d/apache-ssl reload > /dev/null
        endscript

My question is, why not use "copytruncate" and avoid sending the server
any signal at all?

It just seems like a good idea to me, but I guess that if the package
maintainer osn't using it there must be a good reason.  Anyone know what
the reason is?
