Subject: The apache logrotate config causes excessive reloads of apache
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.33-6sarge1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
The logrotate config uses "postrotate" to reload apache. This causes
one reload pr. log file matching the wildcard. Instead use "lastaction"
which runs once for the whole bunch of files, this works fine since the
config uses delaycompress and the apache may continue writing to the
old files untill they're all rotated.
