+# example logrotate config file, I usually keep this in
+# /etc/logrotate.d/unicorn_app on my Debian systems
+#
+# See the logrotate(8) manpage for more information:
+#    http://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate
+
+# Modify the following glob to match the logfiles your app writes to:
+/var/log/unicorn_app/*.log {
+        # this first block is mostly just personal preference, though
+        # I wish logrotate offered an "hourly" option...
+        daily
+        missingok
+        rotate 180
+        compress # must use with delaycompress below
+        dateext
+
+        # this is important if using "compress" since we need to call
+        # the "lastaction" script below before compressing:
+        delaycompress
+
+        # note the lack of the evil "copytruncate" option in this
+        # config.  Unicorn supports the USR1 signal and we send it
+        # as our "lastaction" action:
+        lastaction
+                # assuming your pid file is in /var/run/unicorn_app/pid
+                pid=/var/run/unicorn_app/pid
+                test -s $pid && kill -USR1 "$(cat $pid)"
+        endscript
