Loosing STDOUT after file rotation

[James Housley]

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
