Hi all,

is it possible to use piped logs to rotate the logfile written by
suexec? Could it be configured in the file suexec.h like this:

#define LOG_EXEC "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog
/var/log/apache/%Y/%m/%d/cgi.log"

Does someone has experience on this?

No. suexec isn't a daemon so creating a new pipe at every suexec'd request
is a lot of overhead. Rotating the logfile by renaming via cronjob is safe
and should be sufficient.

Alternatively you can edit the suexec code but this is NOT recommended.
