  42 Not a complete solution but just a suggestion:
  43
  44 Does it really matter to you if it is exactly midnight?
  45
  46 Surely you can simply check that it is the &quot;next day&quot; and the log has not
  47 yet been rotated?  This then will allow you to rotate the log as close to
  48 midnight as you wish without needing to run something every second.
  49
  50 I just think for the purposes of log rotation, a few minutes either way is
  51 not going to matter to you.
