Scenario:

One is facing a widely known issue related to the 2GB size limit of cm.pinlog related to 32 bit architecture.

While doing the copy/truncate operations , cm is not writing to the log. Some log events are lost forever as the rotation takes time . One of the potential solutions would be to redirect it to the other log.

For example:

1. Change the pin.conf log pointer
2. Send kill -HUP (Hook-UP) to the CM PID (Private Identifier)

But the above approach is not working because CM (Connection Manager) does not handle kill -HUP this way.

Would it be feasible to Enhance this so that the CM can handle the HUP properly to make the pin.conf changes possible, when the process is running?
