Ryan,
Don't you mean Apache's "rotatelogs" instead of "logrotate"?
# man rotatelogs
rotatelogs(8)
NAME
rotatelogs - rotate Apache logs without having to kill the
server
____
You could also use FreeBSD's built in newsyslog utility to rotatate the
httpd log files, see Michael Lucas's article on using newsyslog
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/06/14/Big_Scary_Daemons.html?page=1
> Yes, apache includes a program called "logrotate" that does this very
> nicely, so you don't have to kill the server. It's pretty simple to
> implement... man 8 logrotate.
