it's interesting that Apache doesn't have, or choose the use of a pipe

I expect Apache to simply open the log file in append mode. That should also work with a named pipe (a.k.a. FIFO). mknod /var/log/httpd/access.log p should be sufficient. Apache writes to that pipe, and a resolver program reads from the pipe.

But Apache can do even better, see piped logs:

CustomLog "|/usr/local/bin/name-resolver foo bar baz" common

The shell can also be invoked, that should allow creating a second pipe for a rotating logger:

CustomLog "|$/usr/local/bin/name-resolver foo bar | /usr/local/bin/mul +tilog t s1000000 /var/multilog/apache" common

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
