I have checked the site of Cronlog.org and saw what it's about. It's a nice program I guess. I have downloaded it. You guys here have been great by feeding us with good tips.

To rotate log files, we use cronolog (cronolog.org), which auto-magically switches to new logs files on a configurable basis (we use daily).

In fact, I ran an instance of an older Apache version (I don't recall which one) on a Windows 2000 machine for months at a time and never had a problem with it. The only times that Apache installation was ever restarted were when the machine was rebooted after software updates or installs. If Apache had any major memory leaks or other problems that caused a need to be restarted, I can assure you it would not be used as a production server by a large part of the ISP industry.
