ccc28f774a Add a new option, -P, which reverts newsyslog(8) to the old behavior,
which stops to proceed further, as it is possible that processes which
fails to create PID file get screwed by rotation.

deea909a70 Add the -N option to not rotate any files. This is to be used in
cojunction with -C and is used by /etc/rc.d/newsyslog.

I forgot that this was in my perforce tree and not my running system and
thus committed a non-working newsyslog script.

9e3daa8dcf Because the `permission' field in conf_entry is intended to be used as
parameter 2 in chmod(2), which is a mode_t (and in turn a __uint_16_t),
it's more likely that it should be defined as an unsigned variable.

This commit should make newsyslog WARNS=6 clean, but don't bump the knob
until I have a universe build.

5ff798ca5f Fix the check for a "duplicate filename to compress", so that we're checking
the *filename* and not the pid_file(!).   Stupid brain-fault on my part.
This could cause a segfault under -neworder if newsyslog had to rotate
multiple files, and later ones had specifed the 'N' flag.

c8fd7c3227 Switch to using the "neworder" for rotating log files, by default. The
main advantage of this is that daemon's are only signalled once per run,
instead of once for each file that is rotated.

aa6904eb66 In "neworder" processing, reduce the delay between signals to separate
processes, and balance that by adding a 10-second delay after all the
processes have been signaled.  Also improvement a few messages printed
with `-n' or `-v' processing (mostly signal-related messages).

7f5b34d7c0 Major re-ordering of the steps that newsyslog will use when processing
files to rotate.  The new order will first rotate all files that need
to be rotated, and then send a single signal to each process which
needs to be signaled, and finally it will compress all the files which
were rotated.

This means daemons will be signaled once per run of newsyslog, instead
of once per file rotated.  Also, files will be compressed in order of
file-size (smallest to largest).  Also, it waits for each file to be
completely compressed before starting the next one (effectively as if
the 'w' flag is specified for all entries in newsyslog.conf).  This
avoids the situation of having 10 gzip's going at the same time (each
with a log.0 and a log.0.gz file active), and it also means that file
attributes can be reliably set on files after they are compressed.

NOTE: This commit does define NEWORDER (which you could get rid of if
you really don't trust this), but it does not flip the "-D neworder"
switch.  So, at the moment none of these changes happen unless you
request them (perhaps by adding '<debug> neworder' in newsyslog.conf).

9d780a43c4 A variety of minor changes. Allow users to set a debugging option via
the newsyslog.conf file.  Rename one size-related variable, and move
another one from the stack into conf_entry.  Add a routine to change
file-attributes (chown, chmod, chflags), instead of having several
places doing the same sequence of system-calls.  A few cosmetic/style
changes.

These should not effect any users.  Most of these probably look
pointless, but they are the "insignificant parts" of a much larger
update that I'll be committing soon.  Doing these as a separate update
should make that update easier to read.
