When you sent a Zope process a "SIGUSR2" signal, it closes and reopens all its log files.

You can use this for log rotation. E.g.

mv Z2.log Z2.log.save kill -SIGUSR2 $(cat var/Z2.pid) # this will close the old log file and open a new one

Great solution :) Only one precisation: that method does not work on Zope 2.5.1, in which case, the log is recreated, but Zope doesn't restart automatically. All is ok with version 2.6.1.

Now, you can compress "Z2.log.save" (or delete it).

And then, for log rotation probably i will use logrotate utility. Thankyou Dieter.
