7/12 \_ Hey tom, why is it unsafe to move logs out from under Apache
if you restart it? Also, restarting Apache takes something
on the order of seconds, so the disruption of service is
nigh-invisble, is it not?
- Rotates logs manually and restarts Apache
\_ It depends what you're serving. If someone is downloading
a big file, for example, either their download will hold up
the server respawning, or the download will be killed when
you restart. If you have only small content and don't
care if you occasionally serve broken images or pages,
it's not so bad. Still, it doesn't cost much to do it
right. -tom
\_ I ran an app that was using jserv, and stopping and
restarting apache was a major pain. rotatelogs was
the best solution. -ERic
\_ Oh god yes. Also, if you have 5k connections at
once, it sucks. I like cronolog better, though. |
