[log4perl-devel] signal handling and log4perl

[Seth D. <log...@se...>]

Hello,

What I would like to do is prevent Log4perl from setting %SIG and I
would like to be the one to tell Log4perl when to reload the
configuration.  I do not want to use time-based delays if at all
possible.  So I want my code to do the signal handling and then notify
Log4perl to check its configuration.

The reason for this is that I have a number of existing programs that
use Log4perl for most logging, but some very specific logging does
not use Log4perl.  I need to be able to use a single signal to tell
both Log4perl and the other log code to check its configuration and/or
rewrite the log file for log rotation. 

Is this possible?  Looking at the code in Config/Watch.pm, Config.pm,
and Logger.pm it looks difficult.  Maybe there is a better way?

Thank you.
