Most programs don't rotate logs.  The usual Unix way is to send the 
process a SIGHUP, and it will close and reopen its log file (as well as 
re-read its config file).

There's no accuracy guarantee though, and done every minute will put a 
lid on performance.  You're better off post-processing it into single files.
