Github user remibergsma commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1235#issuecomment-164253007 @DaanHoogland There are many different solutions in place, some are bash/python scripts that do `>/var/log/cloud.log` etc, some use `nohup` to keep running and others are daemons that also log into the same file. There is no easy way to make logrotate restart those without some refactoring. Also, close to release I didn't want to refactor the whole thing, as we'll have regression issues from that if we do it too quickly. This seems a safe fix for now, we should refactor it in the next release. Using syslog could be a simple solution, as that handles many of these scenarios already. This is the best way to resolve the issue now IMHO.
