On my web server, I'd rather risk an occasional request being hung up in the middle rather than risking the loss of log information. If you have a delay between moving the log and compressing it, or if you don't compress it at all, this may not be a problem, but newsyslog(8) doesn't have any capacity for handling such a delay. - Lowell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
