This would be the logrotate script running to rotate your apache logs. Apache must be restarted to rotate the logs other wise you will end up with a log file that has nothing in it to the same byte position as where the rotation took place. This prevents you from say rotating a 1GB access log file and starting the logging in apache at the 1GB mark. ttylz
