*** newsyslog ***
Maybe I'm lucky, or something. We use FreeBSD almost exclusively, and it
includes a fantatic tool called "newsyslog". I would think some of you
would have it too, since it's been around since 1987 and came out of MIT.
Anyway, newsyslog automatically maintains N generations of log archives,
compresses them, renames them, based on size or age. It really couldn't be
any better. I don't need cyclog (do I?), and I'm a happy camper.
I have an entry in syslog.conf like this:
mail.info /u1/qmail/log/maillog
and an entry in newsyslog.conf like this:
/u1/qmail/log/maillog 664 25 * 24 Z
The latter says keep 25 generations of archives, ignore file size, archive
every 24 hours, and compress the archives.
Any other suggestions?
