Yes, I understood this now. Thank you for your patience. Look, I even took the message on: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/601#issuecomment-176568702 > I always want to have my logs compressed, and I can do better with an > external compression program than with the built-in compression (and I am > currently having problems when combinding compression with dynamic files), > and I've trained myself over the years to look in /var/log/oldlogs rather > than just /var/log for things :-) Rather than using a script with loops and stuff, I'd probably just resort to cron running something like the following: find /var/log/{sys,auth,mail} -type f -mtime +1 -exec xz -9e {} + This doesn't do your size-related sorting, but then again I am quite sure my /var/log will never fill up. Thanks a lot for all your feedback. -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ infinite loop: see 'loop, infinite'. loop, infinite: see 'infinite loop'. spamtraps: [email protected]
