How to make services reopen logs for write? Need some universal solution, not configuring for each service. I use /usr/sbin/logrotate -f for that, but may there are some perfect solution?



I need this because partition of /var/log changes to another, this is related to my other question: Mount /var/logs as tmpfs, with help of overlayfs to save changes sometimes. I have partially done this, but while watching df output I see partition not populated with any data for half hour. When I write something there or run logrotate -f - I see everything work as expected.



I guess some processes have opened old log files, even after another partition mounted to /var/log, is it possible?
