Will try both....just a question about compression...What i understood from your mail is that as apache takes some time to let his children close all connections i shouldn zip those logs cause, newsyslog wont wait till apache finishes and probably will xip logs that are still being access by the children? if htat is the case using a HUP will close all and allow me to use compresion?
