[log4perl-devel] Why is signal USR1 killing my program when it should restart the log?

[Todd C. <to...@ch...>]

Hello all,

I have written a persistent server using POE and am using
Log4perl for logging (of course!)

My problem is that I configured Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
to recreate my log file when it recieves a USR1 signal, but it
is killing my program instead.

Here is my logging config:

log4perl.logger = DEBUG, File

log4perl.appender.File = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.File.filename = smshub.log
log4perl.appender.File.mode = append
log4perl.appender.File.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern = %d %p> %F{1}:%L %M - %m%n
log4perl.appender.File.recreate = 1
log4perl.appender.File.recreate_signal  = USR1
log4perl.appender.File.recreate_pid_write = /tmp/smshubid


Any ideas?

Thanks!

-Todd
