files cgi, cgi.1, cgi.2 ... can be create by logrotate daemon (man logrotate) In /etc/logrotate.conf or rather /etc/logrotate.d/mycgi you can write for example:
/var/log/cgi {
        rotate 10
        weekly
        compress
        missingok
}

I quote from the Apacle 2.0 ScriptLog:

Now I would like to log certain specific aspects of my
cgi activity on a "continuously running server".  Perhaps
I should just open a file and write to it?  This is how I
have been debugging. On the other, I like the files:
cgi, cgi.1, cgi.2, etc. that I think syslog will
generate.

Further suggestions much appreciated.
Mike.

In order to get logging from my cgi I proceeded as shown
below.  Is this correct?  It did not seem to be working
all of the time, but I am not sure.

You might like to try apache's built in ScriptLog (see docs
for details) rather than messing around with syslog...
(syslog is for logging system processes. Apache is an application).

In syslog.conf:
   local0.*           /var/log/httpd/cgi

In c++ cgi:
   openlog("cgi",LOG_PID|LOG_NDELAY|LOG_NOWAIT,LOG_LOCAL0);
   syslog(LOG_INFO,"entered");
   closelog();

Thanks,
Mike.
