Well, I can think of one thing. Namely the case where one has multiple log files but just the one daemon. Like my current situation with apache. I'm entertaining clients who have clients whom will want their own logfiles. Even though there is but the one httpd master daemon to signal. Since I got tired of pondering the new graceful thingum and the way inode handling could throw wrenches into wheels I just switched to cronolog to be done with it. Who needs the agravation? Just one reason and probably not the one you wanted to hear. Alas...
