ah... so if they did the equivalent of reload instead of restart, we
should stop getting these?
Yeah, but the reason if I recall right that the RHEL6 httpd logrotate
doesn't do this is that if you reload/graceful, there may well be
running children writing to the logs after it. So, you can't move the
log as it still might have processes writing to it, so they do a
HUP/restart to make sure logs are not being used before rotate.
I guess we could try switching it and see if we see any issues... if we
compress logs they could get corrupted, but if we don't they might be
ok.
