Have you considered using logrotate? I had never actually heard of rotatelogs until now (my apache experience is primarily with Apache 1). I would imagine that it would have a little bit of overhead (albeit a relatively small amount, I hope). logrotate has a lot more options available, and there's also a chance that it's already in use on your system to rotate system logs in /var/log. Since it's run as a cron job, you only experience the overheard (VERY small) when the script run each night Of course, all of this assumes you are running in a *nix environment as opposed to Windows. I'm not sure about the availability on Windows. -- Justin Pasher --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
