Hi André Doing cat error.log | /usr/bin/logger -t '' -p local5.warn works perfectly fine. I did'nt use error log as it is too big and just created a temp file with unique entries to prevent syslog from saying previous message repeated x times. logger I believe is part of syslog. In centos's case it is part of the util-linux package. The same command works fine on a ibm http server version IBM_HTTP_Server/2.0.47.1-PK65782 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) However we get the same error: [Tue Oct 14 12:01:47 2008] [error] child process 6772 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL [Tue Oct 14 12:01:47 2008] [error] child process 8086 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL [Tue Oct 14 12:01:47 2008] [error] child process 8327 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL on the ibm http server when it logrotates /bin/kill -HUP `cat /opt/IBMIHS/logs/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true I am actually trying to debug the problem on the ibm server but thought it a good idea to try and recreate the problem on a different apache to see if it is version related. I have logged a call with IBM but response time is not great.
