I'd like to get this reviewed and into 2.2.6. I submitted on the PRs on this issue... "-m" seems a bit specific. What about weekly and daily options too? If you do, newsyslog starts looking a lot like cron. Using newsyslog to rotate non-syslog created log files is rather a stretch. Using newsyslog for non-text "logs" is even more of stretch. Perhaps wtmp rotation should just be done by cron right in the monthly script, where the accounting processing happens? > Danny Tom
