This is a keeper. Thanks! Some comments:
Assign $1, $2, etc. to clear variable names. ($2 is assigned
to USERWEBROOT, but then $2 is referenced in the code.)
By the way, what is a "user web root"?

"/var/log/apache2" is probably an Apache variable that
can be changed in "/etc/apache/httpd.conf". Therefore,
it should be a constant in this script, in case it changes.

Hope that helps.

I have a question: What is the "user" when a virtual domain
is added to your system?
