Hello, > The restart process with apache is that all the child processes are > shutdown -- either straight away (for a plain restart) or once they've > finished their current bit of work (fora graceful restart). As the child > process shuts down, it closes all the file descriptors used for logging. I put two entries in newsyslog.conf. One for rotating all logs at the start of the month, and the other one specifically for the site which gets many hits to rotate its log once it grows more than 25MB in size. /var/log/*-access.log 644 12 * $M1D0 GZC /var/run/httpd.pid 30 /var/log/example.com-access.log 644 100 25000 * ZC /var/run/httpd.pid 30 The log was indeed rotated when it grew larger than the specified size but it was not rotated at the start of the month. Any idea why? Is it so that the first entry effectively eliminates the second? If so, how can I make sure the log does not grow too large and is rotated at the start of the month? Many thanks!
