Yes, exactly. I did '/etc/rc.d/newsyslog stop', then '/etc/rc.d/newsyslog start'.

This seems like a broken model: intial boot and later restarts uses arguments from /etc/rc.conf, but the periodic call does not. I don't think we want people modifying /etc/crontab, do we? Shouldn't /etc/crontab be calling '/etc/rc.d/newsyslog restart' instead? --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
