I DID read that pages and operate httpd in this way in my daily life. kill -TERM or -HUP are good ways, too. I just think it would be wonderful if Apache also have those squid-like friendly syntax. And log rotation is useful. Only the httpd process know when it should rotate the log. Use kill -USR1 and delay a period of time to rotate log is inconvenient. I know Apache group are busy and want to say "Thank you" to all of you. Sincerely yours, Eric Chang
