in reply to File Locking and other apps

Have your C++ application log to a script that rotates the file. Apache has a number of scripts that do this for you.

Or, try fixing the C++ application to not suck.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Regretfully we cannot change the app since it is legacy code and it is doing an important task in the execution of business process.
