I want to rotate the rsynd server's log file.

When some rsync client boxes rsync its local dir to the rsynd server, rsynd server will log what files it received from the clientbox. And I want to analyze the rsyncd server's log file in an hour interval, then extract what files it received from the client boxes and do some process on these files.

So I want to rotate rsyncd server's log file by hourly, but I am afraid that I maybe rotate the server log file while the server is also updating the log file, when these two actions happen to the same log file at the same time, will be there something bad happen, like some logs will be lost?
