Speed up your website by caching Google's urchin.js locally, and then refreshing it @nightly with this here script. Some background: http://tramchase.com/blog/broken-urchintracker-calls-google-analytics-down

wget http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js -O $URCHIN.tmp

This is a little snippet I whipped up long ago to roll our logs, feel free to use...

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/grep CustomLog /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf |/usr/bin/grep -v \#|/usr/bin/awk '{print $2}'|/usr/bin/sort|/usr/bin/uniq|/usr/bin/grep -v /var/log > logfiles
/usr/bin/grep ErrorLog /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf |/usr/bin/grep -v \#|/usr/bin/awk '{print $2}'|/usr/bin/sort|/usr/bin/uniq|/usr/bin/grep -v /var/log >> logfiles
/usr/local/bin/weblog_rotate.pl --loglist logfiles --touchlog --restart_cmd "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart" --compress --days 120

The weblog_rotate.pl is a script from Uthe Urchin folk, available at http://download.urchin.com/support/weblog_rotate.pl
