Was this problem ever resolved in 2.2.9? I'm trying to set up 2.2.9 as a service on an XP SP2 box with either rotatelog or cronolog for main and vhost error/access logs, but I see several cmd.exe processes when starting it up. I have a W2K box with 2.0.63 that doesn't have this shell behavior (also a service using cronolog). What I found... This says a similar problem was resolved in 2.2.6: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41346 Yet, there was a discussion on the dev list to add shell-skipping syntax: http://markmail.org/message/makgeeo3m3uwj2iw But the trunk server/log.c code doesn't appear to have that syntax: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/server/log.c?view=markup And the docs for 2.2 (can't pull up trunk docs now) don't mention it: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html I also skimmed through the SVN logs for log.c and didn't see anything about fixing this.
