Hi folks,

Is there a way to reset the net counters shown in daily run output?

I manage several systems and read their daily run output every morning.
Since I read several messages at once, the numbers are meaningless as
absolute values.  If they were reset every day on reading, the relative
values shown would make more sense.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
