It intended to be used in conjunction with a Web server, such as Apache, to split the access log into daily or monthly logs: . TransferLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog /var/log/apache/%Y/access.%Y.%m.%d.log" . A cronosplit script is also included, to convert existing traditionally-rotated logs into this rotation format.
