         So that's what the pipe | does?  ;-)  Personally, I rotate my logs 
every year, but there are many things that I don't track anymore (gifs, 
jpgs, most non-HTML docs) and 75+ megs of log file can easily be parsed by 
Analog (the best stats IMHO) in about 30 seconds (233MHz).  If you can't 
wait 30 seconds, just have cron run your stats program and write it to a 
static HTML file.
