Then you're out of luck for normal rotation. No matter if you rename the file, 
or even delete it, it'll keep writing to the same file (the moved file, not the 
same filename). 

I suppose your options are to either restart it to have it reopen the file, or 
if that's not desirable for whatever reason, look see if it'll play nice if you 
put a named pipe where the logfile is supposed to be. Then you can handle data 
as you'd like from the pipe.
