Log file rotation script

> We use logrotate and things work just fine.

Thank you everyone for your input! Using any of the posted techniques, is there any risk of missing a few log entries when under very heavy load? For instance it seems like entries could occur between the time the file is rotated and the time the kill -USR1 executes (split second, but under load this can be multiple transactions)? Is that a real possibility? Thank you again.
