Rotating apache logs

[Eric Shubert]

Thanks Shawn. Do you still use cronolog? If not, what are you presently 
using?

I'm also wondering, does cronolog allow me to rotate logs without 
renaming every one? I'd like them to keep the same name so that they 
don't get backed up repeatedly with rsync each time the name changes.

Sorry for being lazy and not looking this up myself. ;)
