Hi Ken,

No, as webalizer first (prerotate) copies the logfile to temp, then rotates 
the log, and then restarts httpd.
This process shouldn't take more than a few seconds, even on a heavily 
loaded machine.
Then (in postrotate) the logfile in temp is 'splitted', and after that has 
finished webalizer is run.
