#define quoting(Terry Lambert) // When debugging problems that show up in the logs, it's useful to // be able to zero the logs. Yes, but does rotating ALL the logs really helps ? For example, I don't want to rotate the maillog if the problem is not concerned to mail system. Maybe you could define another file, but then you could also define another set of ranges for this newsyslog file, so small that almost always the log would rotate. If it does not rotate, then it's probably not worth doing so. For example, a file with more than 1K should be rotated. A file with less than 1K is not big enough to make trouble reading it. If it's not enough, just make newsyslog support rotate size or rotate time values as zero.
