Unfortunately, it's more complex than that... check out this list:

> ls -lt nes*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 35846 Aug 20 10:19 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_40_09 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 10117 Aug 20 10:01 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-13_56_42 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 284 Aug 20 08:37 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_36_56 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 204 Aug 20 08:34 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_34_25 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 181 Aug 20 08:31 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_31_35 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 181 Aug 20 08:29 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_28_44 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 204 Aug 20 08:26 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_26_15 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 195 Aug 20 08:24 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_24_24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 204 Aug 20 08:21 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_20_58 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5147 Aug 20 08:19 nes.com-access.log. 2008-08-20-12_19_25


Ah... I think I figured this out...

Of course, I had to change a bunch of apache config files to switch from normal log files to piping logs through rotatelogs.

I tested each config change after making it, to make sure I didn't mess something up. Of course I had to restart Apache each time I made a change.

Here's the key: Apache creates a new access log for every site each time it restarts.

So the list above reflects how fast it took me to update a config file and restart apache, not anything that rotate logs was doing.

That makes sense, so I guess I can live with the 'makes new log file on restart' quirk.

Thanks for the help!
