Ugh :( Surely that wouldn't be too difficult to do? Something like: ls -t1 $base.* | tail --lines=+cycles | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm with some appropriate checks built in... Without rotation, I don't really see the point of savelog, I might as well roll my own in my scripts. > documented, and perhaps -c should cause a fatal error if -d or -D is > specified. I fully agree, the current behaviour sucks; giving an error when a non-supported combination of options is given is the least that could be done. The documentation will of course also need to be fixed. Paul Slootman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
