The default root crontab on OpenBSD sets a more limited PATH:
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Perhaps that is what you are talking about? We might want to
consider removing PATH from root's crontab and just use the value
from login.conf.

Hi all,
I want to hijack this thread a little because it sounds like
OP has similar problem to mine.
I'm rotating logs with newsyslog and for example for web logs
I keep 12 logs available (actually it looks like count=12 keeps 13
