>Description:
Using the R flag in a newsyslog configuration file is being ignored by newsyslog.
>How-To-Repeat:
prod# cat /root/test.conf
/var/log/varnishncsa.log       644 10       * $D3  BR /usr/local/scripts/test.sh

-
--
-

prod# cat /usr/local/scripts/test.sh
#!/bin/sh

touch /tmp/test

-
--
-

prod# newsyslog -vF -f /root/test.conf
Processing /root/test.conf
/var/log/varnishncsa.log <10>: --> trimming log....
Signal all daemon process(es)...
Pause 10 seconds to allow daemon(s) to close log file(s)


* Notice, it never runs the command.  Test script works fine via command line, and permissions are correct.
>Fix:
Unknown, but I will do some debugging (time permitting).

>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
