The process_restart() function in /usr/local/lib/nsmnow/lib-nsm-common-utils 
now looks like this:


process_restart()
{
    # grab input variables with sane defaulting
    APP=${1:-}
    APP_OPTIONS=${2:-}
    PID_FILE=${3:-}
    LOG_FILE=${4:-}
    APP_DESC=${5:-}

    # Pull the PID out of the PID_FILE
    # This must be done before process_stop since it deletes PID_FILE
    PID=$(cat $PID_FILE)
    # Ask the process to shut down
    process_stop "$APP" "$PID_FILE" "$APP_DESC"
    # Wait for the process to terminate gracefully
    while [ `ps aux |grep $PID |grep -v grep |wc -l` -eq 1 ] ; do sleep 1; done
    # Rotate the log file and keep a maximum of 10  
    mv "$LOG_FILE" "$LOG_FILE".`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
    [ `ls "$LOG_FILE".* |wc -l` -gt 10 ] && ls "$LOG_FILE".* |head -1 |xargs rm -f
    # Start the process
    process_start "$APP" "$APP_OPTIONS" "$PID_FILE" "$LOG_FILE" "$APP_DESC"
}
