Talking aout sql.log rotate, my rotates are quite strange, or give strange
results. After a rotate I have an sql file that has a binary part at the
begining, and after quite a few pages of ^(at)s the logs, properly, starts.

I'm using this script to rotate syslog, maillog, etc. but I'm having trble
with sql.log.

Saludos.... ;-)

It's rotating, but the file that is left to have he output of postgres has a
bunch of bianry data first, and then the log.
