I guess it can't. Cronolog just organizes the log-files in a neat way, with human readable dates. I guess you have read the web-page and so you know it can't do all the things you are asking for. :-) The only other thing I can come up with is to use rotatelogs and write your own script for handling the compression, renaming and so on, and then put that into crontab. :-) Best regards, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
