   setup the owner, group and permission bits to that directory every time
   Monitorix is started.
   	(thanks to Sander Bos for pointing this out)
+- Added to restart the HTTP built-in every time Monitorix receives the SIGHUP
+  signal. This should also fix sporadic hangups in the HTTP and a truncation in
+  the rotated logfile.
 - Fixed a bad memory scaling in *BSD systems.
 - Fixed in 'process.pm' to fully honour the option 'netstats_in_bps'.
 - Fixed to force Monitorix to be started at the end of boot in systemd-based
