Philip, do you use a scheduled CMD file to gracefully kill the server, rotate
the logs, and then restart the server? Given that rumor has it that piping is
broken in 2.2.4, it seems something like that is the only way to do it right
now, eh? If what you're using contains no trade secrets, I'd be very curious to
see exactly what you're using, so I can use it as boilerplate for my own
solution. I wonder if it could also be accomplished via a WSH file instead, and
whether that would provide extra flexibility or benefits?

I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement:
Apache holds only a tiny share of
Windows servers.
Apache holds a very large share of Windows server market, hence the
pre-made binary.
Back on topic, I rotate via a bat file with a quick re-start on my windows
boxes ;)

So this leads me to ask again, what are all of you successful 2.2.4
admins using to rotate your logs? If the piping mechanism is
broken, at least in the Windows binary, then what other technique(s)
are people using? Task Scheduler with a batch or CMD file?
So far I've been manually rotating the logs, but I'd understandably
like to automate it.

I think you will find that the vast majority of people using Apache
are not doing so on the Windows platform. Most people who have
committed to the Windows platform have also committed to IIS. Apache
dominates the Linux environment and is used frequently on BSD and
similar Unix-based platforms. Apache holds only a tiny share of
Windows servers.
I believe that those few who are using Apache on Windows tend to be
hobbyists or developers using it to serve their own stuff or to do
development off-line. I am willing to bet there are very few people
using it in a production environment under Windows.
So it is entirely possible that there may be nobody on this list who
has an answer for you. The set of people using it in the same manner
you are is small to begin with and there may not be many of them
subscribed to this list.
