- Rotate your log (See <a href="awstats_faq.html#ROTATE">FAQ-SET500</a>) and launch AWStats more often (from crontab or a scheduler, See <a href="awstats_faq.html#CRONTAB">FAQ-SET550</a>).\r
The more often you\r
launch AWStats, the less AWStats has new lines in log to process. This solve also the ActiveState memory problem (see next advice).<br>\r
