Thank u all very much guys....i will see if i do a graceful or simply a
restart cause i dont think the apache will be getting too many connections
all the time....but that clarifications was quite good David....and thank u
for the example....that is always the best way to understand things...much
appreciated...

Will try both....just a question about compression...What i understood from
your mail is that as apache takes some time to let his children close all
connections i shouldn zip those logs cause, newsyslog wont wait till apache
finishes and probably will xip logs that are still being access by the
children? if htat is the case using a HUP will close all and allow me to use
compresion?

Cheers,
Agustin
