[users@httpd] How does 'rotatelogs' work?

[Daniele Imbrogino <d....@gmail.com>]

Hi everybody.

I'm using Apache 2.4.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm trying to use `rotatelogs`
with the following directive

    CustomLog "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs
logs/logrotation/access_log.%Y.%m.%d.%M.%S 10" common

where I set an interval of 10 seconds just to understand if the program
works.

As I understand, this allows to rotate log every 10 seconds, right?

But there are not log files saved in the specified folder.

Why?

It only wakes up to check the interval when a log entry is written
