This option was introduced, because it is not possible to move old logfiles out of the way without potentially interfering with newsyslogs operation (and finally parsing its configuration file before doing something). Directory may be either relative (in that case the old logfiles are placed in a directory below the one the current logfile is in) or absolute to collect all old logfiles in a single directory. A missing directory or any of its components will be created if not present. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 559747-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 559747-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de 22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
