[-- Attachment #1 --] Quick question about newsyslog. I suspect it's not possible, but it can't hurt much to ask, right? I often go thru logs on a daily basis, and often have to sort thru the directory to find the current logs. I wonder if it is possible to have newsyslog, in addition to gzipping old logs, to put all gzipped backups into a ./bak/ directory? I know it has to know how many backups it has kept, so I can't just move *.gz files in on a regular basis - that would screw things up. I found nothing in the manpage, and I'm not sure where else to look. Obviously this would be an easy enough feature to add, but I'm not inclined to put yet another rod in the furnace just yet. Thanks in advance.
