[scripts deleted] If this has been discussed before, please accept my apologies.... Why don't we import the newsyslog utility (it has been in NetBSD for a while now.) . It has a central config point (you can say rotate XXX log every 5 days or rotate XXX log when it gets bigger than 5Meg). It was run from cron, if I remember correctly. -- Lucas James jj@ldjpc.apana.org.au
