CouchDB builds a logrotate script already, of the form;

/usr/local/var/log/couchdb/*.log {
       weekly
       rotate 10
       copytruncate
       delaycompress
       compress
       notifempty
       missingok
}

The actual path varies based on your install dir, of course. The
'copytruncate' option is the most important as couchdb  keeps the log
file open at all times.
