Theoretically if it survives an apachectl configtest, you should be good to go - and if it doesn't, neither method will restart apache. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And does it compress the log files as well? No, but it isn't hard to come up with a script to proces the logs in any way you see fit. Regardless of what you choose to do to the logs, you don't have to restart apache, which I thought was the main object of your question. The main advantage to doing it this way is that the logs will be pretty much rotated simultaneously by apache, so a couple of minutes after it's scheduled, you can run a script to compress, analyse, delete or whatever the rotated logfile.

Looks like my newsyslog.conf file matches the recommended config: Hi. I do not run apache at all, but I am the guy who has done the most-recent work on the newsyslog command. If I were to guess, I think your problem might be that you end up sending multiple USR1 signals to apache. I haven't looked at the code recently, but I think the freebsd newsyslog still does not optimize the number of signal's that it sends to a single process. What I would suggest you try is some kind of staggered setup. (it's an easy thing to try...). Something like: .../www.domain1.com/access_log 640 30 * @T00 ZN .../www.domain1.com/error_log 640 30 * @T00 Z /var/run/httpd.pid 30 .../www.domain2.org/access_log 640 30 * @T02 ZN .../www.domain2.org/error_log 640 30 * @T02 Z /var/run/httpd.pid 30 .../www.domain3.com/access_log 640 30 * @T04 ZN .../www.domain3.com/error_log 640 30 * @T04 Z /var/run/httpd.pid 30 (the ...'s are just an attempt to avoid line-wrapping in this message. you still want the full pathname in the control file) The idea is to rotate the log-and-error files for any one domain at the same time, and only specify the pid once for that group. And then wait two minutes between the files for each domain name. See if that helps you at all. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And then wait two minutes between the files for each domain name. See if that helps you at all. Is there any benefit to using wildcards in newsyslog.conf? eg. I embed the domain name for each logfile into the filename itself, so I've just updated my newsyslog.conf with lines like: /var/log/httpd-*-access.log 644 12 * $M1D0 GJB /var/run/httpd.pid 30 /var/log/httpd-*-error.log 644 12 * $M1D0 GJB /var/run/httpd.pid 30 Will this turn over the logfiles and then do the signal, or will the signal be issued for each file from the expansion?
