Use a log analyzer that brings its own history support with it (e.g. Webalizer) - then you can rotate your logs daily or hourly while making recent statistics from it. After that you can zip then or throw them away. Don't forget to give Apache a HUP, or better a USR1, so that it creates new log files when the old ones are moved to another directory. -- Dominik - http://www.saargate.de/~domi/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
