httplog
httplog is a replacement for Apache's 'rotatelogs' and Andrew Ford's 'chronolog'. It allows you to specify a logfile using strftime paramaters in the filename to act as a template. This means that the logs in your logfiles will also be sorted according to the filename. For example, if you specify a logfile of /var/log/http%Y%m%d.log, a new log file would be generated each day, with content for only that one day. It also supports compression of logfiles using gzip, and many other useful functions.

httplog is a great tool - significantly more flexible than Apache's rotatelogs and very easy to install and configure.
autoconf configure script
Anyone willing to 'donate' an autoconf configure script thingy (and related other thingies to make it all work)? I have no idea how to work that stuff, and even though there's not much to really check for, it would be nice to have.
Email me if you would like to help!
