AW: [IRCServices] Rotate Log function - performance

[Yusuf Iskenderoglu]

Hello;

Why don't you simply use the following ?

mv /bla/blups/blubber/services.log /bla/blups/blubber/oldlog/services.log.old
kill -USR2 `cat /bla/blupbs/blubber/services.pid`

Services used to have a rotatelog command, and it was removed, to use USR2 instead.

Regards;
yusuf
