At the end of each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started. <strong>OPTIONS</strong> <em>logfile</em> The path plus basename of the logfile. The suffix .nnnn is automatically added. <em>rotationtime</em> The rotation time in seconds. <strong>SEE ALSO</strong> <strong>httpd(8)</strong> </pre> <hr /> <h3 align="CENTER">Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3</h3> <a href="./"><img src="../images/index.gif" alt="Index" /></a> <a href="../"><img src="../images/home.gif" alt="Home" /></a> </body> </html>
