I was trying to look for some accounting logs today and noticed the periodic mechanism and specifically /etc/periodic/daily/310.accounting. It seems to me keeping logs for the past 3 days isn't really enough and the much smarter way is the method used by /etc/newsyslog.conf. Actually, I'd prefer to use newsyslog.conf to handle the accounting files as well. My question is, how do I accommodate this desire without having to modify /etc/daily/310.accounting each time we update the system. Seems like a default override would be useful. This might apply to other system log files as well. Please note that we are quite capable of changing the scripts to suit our needs I just don't want to get out of sync with the system. PS: how exactly does periodic get called? It's not in root's crontab. Thanks, Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
