Is there any benefit to using wildcards in newsyslog.conf? eg. I embed the domain name for each logfile into the filename itself, so I've just updated my newsyslog.conf with lines like: /var/log/httpd-*-access.log 644 12 * $M1D0 GJB /var/run/httpd.pid 30 /var/log/httpd-*-error.log 644 12 * $M1D0 GJB /var/run/httpd.pid 30 Will this turn over the logfiles and then do the signal, or will the signal be issued for each file from the expansion?
