If you kill -HUP or kill the spreadlogd process, it will not actually process
the signal until after it has received its next message from Spread. You can
move you log files to new names and then kill -HUP and it will reopen the log
files. This is useful for seamless log rotation without losing any messages.
Spread is really cool. It is a poweful group communication toolkit developed
at the Center for Networking and Distributed Systems at the Johns Hopkins
University (http://www.spread.org/ and http://www.cnds.jhu.edu/, respectively).
