Add the following:

  postrotate
    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/tinc.pid`
  endscript

Now I have the following in logrotate file (tinc):

-----------------------------------------
/var/log/tinc.log {
  missingok
  rotate 7
  daily
  create 0640 root root
  postrotate
    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/tinc.pid`
  endscript
}
-----------------------------------------

I run "logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/tinc" and the same situation, creates
the new "tinc.log" but it goes report in the "tinc.log.4" file:

----------- tinc.log.4 ------------------

1366973321 tinc[14882]: Got HUP signal

Another idea?
