Two questions for sysadmins:
(1) Let’s say you have a daemon and configured it to log to a file. What do you expect the daemon to do if it can’t write to the file anymore?
(2) Let’s say you can tell said daemon to re-open its log file through a signal. What do you expect it to do if opening the log file fails?
