Re: [cobalt-users] [Raq3i] log stopped

[Theodore Jones <theoj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone offer an example command they would use based on the current
default rotated conf file and acting on the access file located at
"/home/log/httpd"?

I am intimidated about it this first time, as I am loosing vital

to a deeper hole with doing it wrong?
