One of cPanel-based servers (cPanel/WHM 11.30.5.2) I administer has thrown a tantrum tonight. A cPanel log rotator has stuck (in fact, multiple instances were running at the same time) and the end result was very not pretty. The server was extremely sluggish

End of a month is a perfect time to look at a Web site’s logs – many servers are setup to archive and file away the logs at the end of the month and some servers don’t even keep more than the current month worth of logs. So, it’s November 28th and I’d like to
