[7.0.2] rotating log files ...

can someone recommend on how to rotate the following log files without
having to stop/start the server?

postgres 85333 pgsql 1w VREG 13,131084 995 762037 /pgsql/logs/postmaster.5432.61308
postgres 85333 pgsql 2w VREG 13,131084 316501241 762038 /pgsql/logs/5432.61308

its the 316meg one and growing that I'm more interested in doing, obviously ...

I'm starting my postmaster as:

#!/bin/tcsh
setenv PORT 5432
setenv POSTMASTER /pgsql/bin/postmaster
unlimit
${POSTMASTER} -B 384 -N 192 \
-o "-F -o /pgsql/logs/${PORT}.$$ -S 32768" \
-i -p ${PORT} -D/pgsql/data >& /pgsql/logs/postmaster.${PORT}.$$ &

where I was hoping that the '-o /pgsql/logs/${PORT}.$$' would create a
'per postgres process' log file, but $$ is taking on the PID of the parent
process, not the children ...

suggestions?
