[techtalk] Rotating apache logs

[Seageraves Caren]

David,

Sorry to be reqponding so late here, but even late, I
feel I need to suggest using cronolog to rotate you
apache logs rather than cron + logrotate. 
(http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/cronolog/)

Cronolog has worked really well for us.  When we used
log rotate we had problems if our servers eperienced
significant load when the logs were rotated.
