The second patch adds the -R "request rotate" option. And now here is a third patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/newsyslog/3-fixglob.diff The main purpose of this update is to rework the way newsyslog handles filenames which are specified on the command line. This is mainly to fix bugs with how those files were matched when the config file includes entries that specify filename-patterns (globs). It is also probably obvious by looking at it that I expect to write a future update so newsyslog can read information from multiple config files, say: /etc/defaults/newsyslog.conf and /etc/newsyslog.conf and maybe even /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.d/*.conf But I don't want to open that debate just yet. For now I just wanted to get glob's working correctly, because I think the bugs in the present glob-handling might bite more people once syslogd starts taking advantage of -R. This update has not been extensively tested, although it does seem to do the right thing for the config files I've tried. Assuming there are no major bugs, I'd like to commit this at about the same time as the other two. I'm still claiming that should be this Sunday, but it might be a few days later. Let me know if you see any problems with these updates. I also plan to do more testing of these before committing them. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
