I played with it some more, and I did finally get it to work. I think a combination of running the service as a restricted user and not restarting between reinstalls got things out of whack. > > I'm trying to set up 2.2.9 as a service on an XP SP2 box with either > > rotatelog or cronolog for main and vhost error/access logs, but I see > > several cmd.exe processes when starting it up.

I have 2 vhosts with this install, each doing its own error and access logging. With the 2 processes per log (not sure why that happens, either) plus cmd.exe, that adds up to 20 processes for 5 logs. Along with resource concerns, I also run Apache as a restricted user, which doesn't have access to cmd.exe (similarly to how the IIS user doesn't have access). I'd prefer keeping it that way, but I can't do so if the log piping requires it. > > I also skimmed through the SVN logs for log.c and didn't see anything about > > fixing this. > > No, these are all subdependencies, you wouldn't note them from log.c I was actually looking for implementation of the additional piping options discussed in the dev list exchange I mentioned. I'm basically trying to get the same behavior with 2.2.9 on XP that I'm seeing on 2.0.63 on W2K (no cmd.exe).
