Re: cronolog in ErrorLog entry stays running after apachectl graceful

["J J" <eggsgloriouseggs@xxxxxxxxx>]

The solution documented here seems to be working.

http://cronolog.org/mailing-list/msg00134.html

Is this a bug with Apache, or should I always be using exec?

Hi,

I am running Apache 2.2.6 on Solaris 10.  I use the following line in httpd.conf to specify where errors should be sent.

ErrorLog "|/path/to/cronolog /data/logs/apache/%Y/%m/error-%Y-%m-%d.log"

This works fine, but whenever I run apachectl graceful, it starts a new instance of cronolog and also keeps the old one around, thus increasing the number of processes by one every time I run apachectl graceful.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Below are the steps I use to build Apache (2.2.6) and cronolog (1.6.2).

Thanks,
