    Not that I'm aware of. Your best bet is to probably tail the access_log, pipe it through grep, and output it to another file.

    Something like:
     tail -f access_log | grep extra.php > extra.php_access_log
    Code (markup):
    You can, of course, pull all the past data out of access_log by doing the same thing with cat.

    cat access_log | grep extra.php > extra.php_access_log
    Code (markup):
    Keep in mind that ">" will overwrite the file, so if you want to do "cat" first, use >> when you tail the log output.
