Hi all,

In the common case, people rotate access log like this:

mv access.log access.XXX.log
kill -USR1 <nginx pid>

In my case, I have to do something like this:

if [ -f "access.log" ]; then
mv access.log access.20130121.log
fi

kill -USR1 <nginx pid>
mv access.log access.20130122.log

My goal is make the "current" log file named with the date pattern immediately, not after one day. Well, my script seams OK, but for a production script, I still worry about that is there any "unexpected" trigger can make nginx reopen the log file (I mean inside nginx, core and other modules)? Will there be any inside reopen action in the future?
