Hi, I am not sure at what version it started (1.2.18?) but you can use the pipe | rotatelog (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/rotatelogs.html) eg. daily rotation: JkLogFile "|/usr/apache2/bin/rotatelogs -l /usr/myweb/logs/mod_jk_%Y%m%d.log 86400" which does not involve any SIG... however these rotatlog processes will run with the same user that you start apache with eg. root.
