System Log Rotation

The sfptpdctl logrotate command causes the sfptpd daemon to close and reopen the log file, creating the file if it does not already exist.

The sfptpdctl logrotate command could be called from the postrotate section of a standard Linux logrotate configuration file. For example:

postrotate
    <path>/sfptpdctl logrotate || true
endscript

An alternative action would be to move/rename the current log file before invoking the sfptpdctl logrotate command.
