https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282073 Bug ID: 282073 Summary: newsyslog(8): options in /etc/defaults/rc.conf not consistent with /etc/crontab Product: Base System Version: 13.4-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org /etc/crontab says: > # Rotate log files every hour, if necessary. > 0 * * * * root newsyslog but /etc/defaults/rc.conf says: > newsyslog_enable="YES" # Run newsyslog at startup. > newsyslog_flags="-CN" # Newsyslog flags to create marked files This means that the behavior is different in the default setup and there is no comment that the admin is supposed to sync them. There are several ways to solve that: * Add default flags to crontab and add comment that the admin needs to sync (ugly) * Run "service newsyslog onestart" (in case it has been disabled) from crontab to have it consistent with "> /dev/null" to omit the message hourly or remove the message altogether -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
