It's hosting server so restarting apache is bad idea.

I have a script which does the following: + rotates logs + calls apachectl stop (twice, with sleep 2 after each call) + calls apachectl stop and greps the output to make sure it is stopped (looks for 'not running') + if I don't find not running, pages me + run apachectl startssl This is all in a wrapper script which then calls awstats after a successful rotate and restart. Works for us. JohnM -- john mendenhall [EMAIL PROTECTED] surf utopia internet services
