I'm not sure what you are talking about here. 'When the cron runs for syslog?' syslogd(8) runs completely independently of cron(8). There is the program newsyslog(8) that is spawned from the default /etc/crontab file with FreeBSD. All it does is rotate logfiles; it has not facilities for mailing. Or are you talking about the periodic(8) scripts that run from /etc/crontab? Much of what they do utilizes information in various logfiles. Could you be more specific about what you would like to do? -- Crist J.
