213a2efd3a Allow a '-' flag as a placeholder so that path_to_pid_file
can be specified without the flags field.
Fix bogus "trail" left in parse routine where the code jumps
past the end of the line and wanders into oblivion.

40924e377c Do not kill -HUP syslog if running in user mode (-r), it allows
private user logs rotation without error diagnostics

28bcd2026c 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.

808a36ef65 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.

then make it do that.

bbacb62fd0 PR#2724 in NetBSD notes that newsyslog save log files even if the number
of copies to save is zero.  Incorporate suggested fix with some stylistic
cleanup to make the resulting code more readable.

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).

adc7000016 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
