Supervisor: How to make Supervisor reopen logs for of one the managed processes?

[mindojo-victor]

I deleted a log file of one the managed processes (stdout). Supervisor is still writing the logs into it.

I want to recreate the log file right now, but I can't afford to restart the process (for example because I don't want downtime).

Is it possible to make Supervisor reopen logs for a process?

Another wish is to be able to tell Supervisor to reopen the log file(s) while the closed logs to be renamed.

This would be useful for backing up the logs. I would tell Supervisor to reopen the log and then would compress, back up and delete the old one. I need this because logrotate fails sometimes: gzip: stdin: file size changed while zipping. delaycompress option for logrotate doesn't suit me, because I need to clean disk space right now by reopening the logs and backing up the old ones, then deleting them.

So it's like stdout_logfile_maxbytes but on demand.
