To this end I've implemented another feature, 'N' for newsyslog.
When the file size limit is reached, newsyslog is run with the=20
log filename as the only argument. The size limitation in syslog.conf
and newsyslog.conf should agree or you won't get what you expect.
Does this seem reasonable?
Can anyone suggest a better syntax that is in keeping with the=20
current syslog.conf? I am *not* going to replace the syslog.conf=20
with a different format, only extend it to encompass this simple=20
functionality.
On with the bikeshed...
=2D-=20
