You can +move you log files to new names and then kill -HUP and it will reopen the log +files. This is useful for seamless log rotation without losing any messages. + +Spread is really cool. It is a poweful group communication toolkit developed +at the Center for Networking and Distributed Systems at the Johns Hopkins +University (http://www.spread.org/ and http://www.cnds.jhu.edu/, respectively). |
