I am using the rotatelog function for my Apache logs.

While this does rotate the logs every 24 hours with a datetime, I
specifically need to have it run at midnight.
Yes, I have an SR open and yet I posted to Apache forums.
There is a transferlog function but I haven't been able to get this to work
I thought if I could manually force a rotate, then I could just cron
this to go at midnight.
Which version of apache is it?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/rotatelogs.html
states that "if the rotation time is 86400, the log file will be rotated
every night at midnight", although:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/rotatelogs.html
does not. It should be easy enough to grab/use the rotatelogs from a
newer version of apache though.
You also need to consider when midnight is -- it has options for making
it run in localtime or at specific UTC offsets, but by default it runs
in UTC.
