If anyone has suggestions on how >to do this, please share. For what it's worth, I recently added some non-operational command line arguments into newsyslog. In my case I decided to add only *1* new argument, and then all the special debugging commands are specified as strings to that argument. This means that only one option-letter is used up, and it also makes it much much less likely that someone is going to specify the special debugging/regression options by accident. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
