    I have a program that I have the is supposed to run forever. I log any
    output to a log file. It is run in a startup script like thie:

    program_name >> $err_log 2>&1

    The problem is that after newsyslog rotates the $err_log file, no more
    data is written to the file. I can not stop and restart the program. I
    can accept a signal. But what do I need to do in "program_name" to allow
    the data to be written after the "rotation" of the file.

    Thanks,
    Jim
