[OT]logging Apache processes w/rotatelogs

[martin langhoff <ma...@scim.net>]

hi,

	is anyone using rotatelogs ? 

	I have a bunch of virtualdomains, each with its own, separate log. Then
I'm running three different apache binaries (that resulting in a whole
lot of daemons). Now I'm trying to use rotatelogs, and I find the pipes
are kept open, so I have a *lot* of rotatelogs processes running. 

	A *LOT* of them, believe me.

	They don't seem to hurt the load averages nor the memory, but I wonder
if there might be any problem running so many of them, like, erm,
hitting a max-processes count?

Yes.

There are plenty of counter examples floating around. Mostly involving
moving log files away then doing a graceful restart.
