Does Apache spawn piped logger on each HTTP request?
- by Xepoch
I am examining a high-volume Apache prefork site and noticing that many log entries such as:
CustomLog '|/foo/bar/cronolog -foo -bar'
RewriteLog '|/foo/bar/cronolog -bar -foo'
When apache logs the request or the rewrite is cronolog spawned for EACH request or is the pipe opened and written-to for the lifetime duration of the preforked apache process?
(This was asked on stackoverflow but I'll remove from there as more applicable here I think.)
