In an csh script I want to issue newsyslog /var/log/security. I need feedback from the newsyslog command in the form of an script testable return code / exit code so I can determine if the specified log met the rotate trigger for that file as defined in the newsyslog.conf file and the file was rotated or not. I have tested and know that newsyslog /var/log/security does check the newsyslog.config for an entry of /var/log/security and checks the size/time/date trigger to determine if file needs rotating. So my question boils down to does the newsyslog command issue an return code I can check in an script to see if the log was rotated or not? If so what would the csh script command look like to perform the test? Thanks Joe
