Hmm,

I suppose this is a viable option.  it would be really beneficial to do all
teh log rotations at midnight just to keep our logs rolling at the same time.
 maybe I am a little stringent here about these things.

anyways cna somebody possibly recommend another program out there that rotate
the apache log files all at the same time without creating memory errors for
apache because of restarting the daemon each time.

thanks in advance,

Noah
