 This patch is taken from http://www.gossamer-
 threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/110113

 It adds a SIGHUP handler to mythbackend for rotating logfiles in response
 to a SIGHUP, so that a logrotate.d "postrotate" script can do:

   kill `cat /var/run/mythbackend.pid`

 without worrying about whether or not restarting mythbackend will
 interrupt any recordings, etc.
