No, it's compressing them in stdin/stdout mode, rather than providing gzip with the file name on the "command line". It's equivalent to: cat logfile | gzip >logfile.gz It's certainly possible to add the following code to the function compressLogFile(): struct utimbuf utim; utim.actime = sb->st_atime; utim.modtime = sb->st_mtime; utime(compressedName, &utim); ...just before the call to unlink(name). -- Paul Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
