In the logrotate event for swatch, you'll probably need to add something
that restarts swatch.
For example, in my amavisd logrotate job (under /etc/logrotate.d), I have:
postrotate
/sbin/service amavisd restart 2> /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
This example assumes that swatch is being started via a script in
/etc/init.d (and /etc/rc.d/rcX.d, where X is the number of your runlevel).
If you're using a call from rc.local or somesuch, you'll want to put in
calls to whatever stops and then restarts that daemon.
