But I could imagine that instead of TransferLog-ing to the pipe you could CustomLog into the pipe, like so CustomLog "|/usr/../rotatelogs <filename>" I am in no case sure if that might work, but I would try it without hesitation. I think it does work. Why not? ;) flo -- --- Florian Nigsch <flo@nigsch.com> http://flo.nigsch.com/ PGP key: http://flo.nigsch.com/fnigsch.asc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
