Yeah, but it's entirely without meaning -- say file X changed; do you know

Well, then apache has write access to all of your log directories. It
doesn't have write access to mine. Mine way's easier to automate, easier
to manage, and easier to segment. Your way requires less ability to
interact with the computer.

Well, 'ls -d' is the same as 'ls -d *', but 'ls *' will list
subdirectories, which is quite different. I assume you meant it would
match the same file list, though, which is the case.
'ls -d *' behaves identically to 'ls -d' behaves identically to
'ls -d ./*', and if you want all files then use 'ls -a'. Without '-a',
you won't get dot-files, which makes it behave as though you had matched
'*'.
