78ae26252e Allow user to specify which logs to rotate 2000-05-11 10:17:54 +00:00
Hellmuth Michaelis
70fa0440ad - implement logfile archivation to a separate, user
configurable directory
- implement alternate and more flexible way to specify
  logfile rotation time in addition to the ISO 8601
  restricted format
- cleanup the source which was a mix of several styles
  of persons who maintained it so far, ran through
  knfom script got from bde.

c7c83aedf5 Run newsyslog source through knfom script obtained from Bruce Evans.
Joerg Wunsch suggested to do this to make the functional changes in
the next commit to newsyslog (which were run through the same script)
better visible.

f2e366a105 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

d00fc946ed Correctly refer to the companion program rather than as "chown".
Clean up wording a little (like I have any idea what real English looks like...)

ae2c5cf197 Go back to allowing ``.'' as a username.group separator for backward
compatibility.  : is still the documented non-ambiguous approach.  The
algorithm used will correctly parse david.obrien.staff as strrchar() is
used, and in my mind more people would use a ``.'' in the username than
the group name.

Convinced by argument and patch by: sheldonh (with slight changes by me)

8fba304b43 A slight bit of code and doco cleanup, but mostly:
Add the much-needed and long-desired ability to force the log rotation
to take place on a specific day or time, and document same.  This works
by extending the syntax of the `when' field to allow a restricted
ISO 8601 time specification, and performing the log rotation if newsyslog
is run during the same hour as is specified.

b2805b78b6 1) kill -HUP syslog, even if compressing supposedly "binary" files
PR:	docs/6385

2) -n (noaction) does not imply -r (run as non-root), since as of
   Rev. 1.12 (ache), -r changes actual behaviour.

3) missing \n from if(noaction) messages.

28a9b05b87 Arg! Someone fixed the synopsis in -stable's newsyslog.8, but not
in -current.  However, they fixed both the ordering and the missing -F
flag.  Merge from 22 and fix ordering here, too.

3d807d3be6 1) Add yet one optional field: pid file to send SIGHUP to if log rotated
(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.

2) Do not compress log if SIGHUP sending failed for some reason
(f.e. pid file deleted). Newcoming messages will be lost
otherwise.

3) Misc cleanup while I am here.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

1) correct MAX_PID according to system definition.
2) replace fprintf(stderr,...)/perror/exit by 4.4 equivalence.
3) make strings enough larger so they can't overflow: MAXHOSTNAMELEN for
   host and MAXPATHLEN for filenames.
4) call execl with correct parameters (compress -> gzip).

abf212be33 Obtained from: NetBSD
imported the newsyslog command from NetBSD - it make the "rotation" of
the logfiles much simpler (it is currently done by "hand" in the
/etc/[daily,weekly,monthly] scripts) - now it will be done by invoking
newsyslog every hour which is very customizable via a
/etc/newsyslog.conf file
