Perl-Logrotate is a safe log rotation script. It is fully configurable and comes with compression. You can define the number of files to keep rotated and when to rotate. If logfiles cannot be rotated, it will put the log contents back into the file to avoid data loss. It also works with all logging software, as it only truncates the file and does not unlink it. There is no need to signal any processes after this has been run.
