Bug ID: 194864
Summary: newsyslog(8) does not delete old files after config
change
Product: Base System
Version: 10.0-STABLE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: Needs Triage
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: r...@bytecamp.net
Lets assume the following entry in /etc/newsyslog.conf:
/var/log/httpd-suexec.log 640 14 * @T00 JC
After 14 days, there are 14 compressed files httpd-suexec.N.log.bz2 in
/var/log.
Now lower the count from 14 to 7:
/var/log/httpd-suexec.log 640 7 * @T00 JC
One may assume, that newsyslog will delete 7 files in the next run, since there
should only be kept 7 old logfiles.
But it doesn't, it just deletes the 8th old logfile (httpd-suexec.log.7.bz2)
and keeps httpd-suexec.log.{8,9,10,11,12,13}.bz2.
