The simplest production-grade approach to managing log output is to
send it all to <application>syslog</> and let
<application>syslog</> deal with file rotation. To do this, set
the configurations parameter <literal>syslog</> to 2 (to log to <application>syslog</> only) in
<filename>postgresql.conf</>. Then you can send a
<literal>SIGHUP</literal> signal to the <application>syslog</>
daemon whenever you want to force it to start writing a new log
file.

the logrotate program can be configured to work with log files from syslog.
