I actually added this functionality to mod_log_config for Apache 1.3 since Apache 1.3 for NetWare had no other way to rotate logs. The RotateLogs executible would not work for us because of a lack of pipes in the infrastructure that we were using at the time on our platform . But I ultimately had to remove it and create a NetWare specific module for rotating logs because of objections. I am for adding this functionality mod_log_config but I am sure there are others who have reasons not to.

BTW, does anyone have strong opinions for or against adding log rotation logic to mod_log_config as an alternative to rotatelogs? IMHO, it would be more efficient, and simpler for the server administrator, to have some configuration options for mod_log_config that would enable it to start writing a new log file at a specified time interval or file size threshold. --Brian
