[users@httpd] rotatelogs on Windows

[James Tu <jt...@esidesign.com>]

I'm trying to edit my httpd.conf to use rotatelogs for Apache running 
on Windows.

I'm doing this and it doesn't like it.
CustomLog "| bin/rotatelogs logs/access.log 3600" common

I've also tried using the full paths and it doesn't like the space in 
"Program Files"
CustomLog "| c:/Program Files/Apache Group/apache/bin/rotatelogs 
c:/Program Files/Apache Group/apache/logs/access.log 3600" common

Does rotatelogs work differently on Windows?  Do I need to escape 
those space characters?

Did you mean bin/rotatelogs.exe ?

If that doesn't lick it, what about using 'bin\rotatelogs.exe'?

This might be a very odd case where a shell command's shell doesn't like
forward slashes (cmd.exe is picky).  I've actually worked out how to
nest double quotes at one point, so that the command was quoted (useful
for paths-in-spaces and forward slashes.)

cmd.exe likes "c:/winnt/notepad.exe" or c:\winnt\notepad.exe and doesn't
like c:/winnt/notepad.exe.
