Hi,

Can we have an option of rotating logs on demand. For example can we have an option from command line where when we execute it, it can rotate logs for all the apps, or for targeted apps via pm2 command line.

For example (something of this sort) pm2 rotate logs [1,all,"app name"]

I agree that we need a trigger to manually force a logrotation like linux logrotate command.

Right now I would like the application to rotate the logs each time it is restarted so that when we look at logs they are fresh from latest restart. This is not possible with this plugin and forces me to look for another way and will not use pm2-logrotate... will probably stick with system logrotate function since it has that capability.

let me know if it is possible to implement .
