Thus, we might retain 90 "rotated" generations of the log file, of which the oldest 50 are compressed, while the newest 40 are not. I didn't see a better way to do it, so I cobbled up a Perl script; I'd much rather be able to use newsyslog(8) for the job. Biggest problem I can see (with what I want to accomplish) is how to specify it in the config file. Peace, david -- David H.
