Hello,

I have the following lines in my /etc/newsyslog.conf

/var/log/*-access.log                   644  30    *    @T00  JCG
/var/log/*-error.log                    644  30    *    @T00  JCG

Man newsyslog.conf says:  
If this field (signal_number) is not present, then a SIGHUP signal 
will be sent.

My problem is that while the apache logs are rotated as specified in 
the newsyslog.conf file, the apache server is not reloaded which 
causes it to write log entries to the now compressed files.

Which flag should I specify to make sure apache is reloaded during 
log rotation? Thank you very much in advance!
