I'd like to see an Optional choice for log rotations to be considered. When a new Virtual Server is created, rather than create a cron job on log rotations that'll do a apache restart why not have it append the commands to run to a single file and have the log rotation run that on a weekly basis?
And vice-versa when you remove said servers, it will remove the entry.
I have 3 at the moment doing 3 restarts during a week. As a result I have trouble debugging Apache issues unless I shut down all log rotations.
So if someone sets up 50 virtual servers, then that'll be 50 restarts on a weekly basis.
That could get horrible.

This is really a limitation of logrotate .. it doesn't have any good way to separate the post-rotate command from the log files.
That said, in a standard Virtualmin install the post-rotation command should be just
apachectl graceful, which merely signals Apache to re-reads its config files and re-open logs. It shouldn't do a full restart.
