Bug ID: 278671 Summary: newsyslog.conf has an incomplete reference regarding trimming Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: b...@freebsd.org Reporter: darren.hender...@gmail.com CC: d...@freebsd.org man 5 newsyslog.d when discussing the size option the text states "...the log file will be trimmed as described above. If this field contains an asterisk(`*'), the log file will not be trimmed based on size." Nothing prior to that statement addresses trimming so it's unclear as to what the asterisk is meant to do. I suspect it was meant to be "rotated" rather than "trimmed". This would read more clearlym, "...the log file will be rotated. If this field contains an asterisk (`*'), the log file will not be rotated based on size." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
