---------------------------+------------------------------------
 On a Debian Jessie box when logs are rotated, /var/log/tor/log is renamed
 to log.1, and then a fresh log file is created and tor SIGHUP'ed. (not
 necessarily in that order?)  This works normally, but when Sandbox is
 enabled in torrc, tor continues to use log.1 instead of switching to the
 fresh log file.

 I believe the important part of the configuration is just in
 /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc:
 {{{
 DataDirectory /var/lib/tor
 PidFile /var/run/tor/tor.pid
 RunAsDaemon 1
 User debian-tor

 ControlSocket /var/run/tor/control
 ControlSocketsGroupWritable 1

 CookieAuthentication 1
 CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1
 CookieAuthFile /var/run/tor/control.authcookie

 Log notice file /var/log/tor/log
 }}}

 torrc:
 {{{
 # other values stripped for brevity
 Sandbox 1
 }}}
