[Zope-dev] zc.zope3recipes:instance: zdaemon/eventlog rotatation

[Christian Zagrodnick]

Hi,

The zc.zope3recipes:instance recipe creates a zdaemon.conf which writes 
the transcript_log and zdaemon's eventlog to the same file. That's 
actually fine.

ZDaemon's reopen_transcript does exactly that: it reopens *only* the 
transcript. So when rotating the logfile (as zc.zope3recipes does it 
via logrotate) ZDaemon messages still go to the old logfile.

I see two obvious ways to fix that:

a) Write ZDaemon's eventlog to stdout
b) Add a sane way to reopen the logfile.  There is a logreopen command 
in ZDaemon but that actually restarts the daemon process.

Comments? Suggestsions?
