CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

You have just renamed /var/log/myapp/service.log to service.log.1 as part of a manual log-rotation procedure while the daemon that owns PID 1472 is still running. To make the process immediately close the old file descriptor and begin writing to a freshly created /var/log/myapp/service.log without stopping or killing the service, which single command should you run from the shell?

  • kill -USR1 1472

  • kill -CONT 1472

  • kill -HUP 1472

  • kill -9 1472
