      The only way to rotate mongod's server log (i.e. when it's started with --logpath) seems to be to move the existing log and restart the server. There should be some functionality to make mongod close and re-open it's log. Perhaps follow suit with MySQL (and other stuff) and have it respond to SIGHUP with that behavior?
