hi,

on freebsd I need to specify pid file in order to send a signal to rotate log:

/etc/newsyslog.conf:

/var/log/bird.log 600 7 100 @0101T JC /var/run/bird.pid SIGHUP ...

is there a way to write a pid to file ? I haven't found any

$ bird --help Usage: bird [--version] [--help] [-c <config-file>] [OPTIONS] Options: ... -P <pid-file> Create a PID file with given filename ... Maria
