I've decided to rotate the dovecot logs automatically on my freebsd 10.4 server using the system's newsyslog feature. I started with logfile.info putting the line
/var/log/dovecot/logfile.info 600 31 * @T16 ZCU /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 30
which should send a SIGUSER to the master process, which it seems to do for I see in the log file:
master: Warning: Sent SIGKILL to 1 log processes master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=69871 uid=0 code=kill)
though the log process doesn't die.
What did I do wrong?
Remove "U" from the flags:
U indicates that the file specified by path_to_pid_cmd_file will contain the ID for a process group instead of a process.
And sometimes "B" (don't insert info message about log rotation) is useful too.
