There is a graceful restart for each logfile. If there are many of them, th=
is
can take quite some time, and prevent the service from being used. Using
cron to restart apache after some time (say 10 minutes) is better IMHO
since apache is restarted only once. And using the P flag prevents any log
content loss, since, as you said, the childs can still write to the old
log files until apache is restarted.
