Re: apache restart while rotating logs

[Andreas Rust]

Hi,

slightly OT, but solves the problem aswell. I like to use cronolog.
http://cronolog.org/ that is and 1.7.0-beta runs rockstable on production 
systems here for quite a while.

Also does a more "precise" rotation than e.g. logrotate, doesn't need 
apache to be restarted and easens
my logparsing a little.
