`J' flag means that newsyslog should wait for previously started compression jobs to complete before starting a new one for this entry. When it is used along with the `G' flag, in the case when several logfiles match the pattern and should be compressed, the newsyslog will compress logs one by one, ensuring that only one compression job is running at a time. This prevents newsyslog(8) from overloading system by starting several compression jobs on big files simultaneously. Sponsored by: Porta Software Ltd MFC after: 2 weeks |
