-n looks to intentionally/explicitly treat the initial file and subsequent rotations differently, as you say above. The latter are truncated when opened. It's not captured in the manual, but the intent behind -n was retaining a limited amount of trace-like output. Misguided or not, this is the behavior for quite some time of this relatively obscure option. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
