spooky script

["Mercator Trading" <info@mercatortrading.nl>]

Hi all,
i made the following script and added it to crontab:
@monthly                                /home/jabal/Scripts/wwwpro.scr &&
mail -s "Maandelijks weblog verplaatst" jabal

no mail was send.
the spooky thing is that although the script was made to archive my
logfiles, my apache webserver decided to log new events in the file i moved
the log to. httpd.conf has not been edited.

Does anyone have an explanation for this? is it maybe that mv is not
simmilar to cp - rm. should i try cp?

# Script for managing APACHE access and error logs
# both logs will be kept in the same hierarchy:
# ~YEAR/year-month-day.a
# ~YEAR/year-month-day.e
# Intended to be invoked by Cron monthly. More often is no problem.
# You might want to consider adding an extra hierarchy level.
