Heya, I am trying to set up newsyslog to rotate my logs for IPFM to keep my /var partition from filling up. The problem is that I can't get newsyslog to recognize the filenames for the IPFM log files. newsyslog.conf: # logfilename [owner:group] mode count size when [ZB] [/pid_file] [sig_num] /var/log/ipfm/*.log 600 12 100 * Z /var/log/ipfm/%d-%b.%H-%M-internet.log 600 12 100 * Z ipfm.conf: # IPFM logging rules DEVICE fxp0 LOG FILENAME /var/log/ipfm/%d-%b.%H-%M-internet.log TIME 1 minute This is the command I am running: newsyslog -n -v -F -a /home/logs/ and the output: /var/log/ipfm/*.log <12Z>: does not exist. /var/log/ipfm/%d-%b.%H-%M-internet.log <12Z>: does not exist. It seems that newsyslog will not recognize the * in a filename. Any ideas how I could get newsyslog to recognize these files without having to take away the date from the IPFM log filename. Thanks. -Donnie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!
