[OT]logging Apache processes w/rotatelogs
hi, is anyone using rotatelogs ? I have a bunch of virtualdomains, each with its own, separate log. Then I'm running three different apache binaries (that resulting in a whole lot of daemons). Now I'm trying to use rotatelogs, and I find the pipes are kept open, so I have a *lot* of rotatelogs processes running. A *LOT* of them, believe me. They don't seem to hurt the load averages nor the memory, but I wonder if there might be any problem running so many of them, like, erm, hitting a max-processes count? martin

Yes. There are plenty of counter examples floating around. Mostly involving moving log files away then doing a graceful restart. -- Dave Hodgkinson, http://www.hodgkinson.org Editor-in-chief, The Highway Star http://www.deep-purple.com Apache, mod_perl, MySQL, Sybase hired gun for, well, hire -
