3) Log "rolling" is critical. In a "normal" runtime scenario very few messages are sent to the log - but when something does go wrong a history of "aw shucks" messages can be very helpful. Since the first thing a client will do when a problems occurs is restart the app...overwriting the log will not do. Having the startup script move the log to a new name is a possibility, but less than desirable.
