View Full Version : [Win/Apache] rotatelogs ghost processes

We have a W2k3 machine with both IIS and Apache. Apache's logs get rotated using the http.conf line:

CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe logs/access.log 86400" common

This works fine, except for the fact that, once done, the rotatelogs remains in the system as a ghost process, without a parent process. Appearantly for every rotation, the rotatelogs program keeps running (which I can kill).

Is this a known issue to anyone?

I'm sorry. I totally forgot to mention: it concerns Apache 2.0.49.
