lukem 279552d3db fix up various .Nm abuses:
- keep the case consistent between the actual name and what's referenced.
  e.g, if it's `foo', don't use '.Nm Foo' at the start of a sentence.
- remove unnecessary `.Nm foo' after the first occurrence (except for
  using `.Nm ""' if there's stuff following, or for the 2nd and so on
  occurrences in a SYNOPSIS
- use Sx, Ic, Li, Em, Sq, and Xr as appropriate

tron 815deae8b6 Use vfork(2) instead of fork(2) to create child process for "gzip" and
wait until it terminates. Problem noted by Enami Tsugutomo on
"current-users@netbsd.org"

ad a6ecf36d33 On NetBSD, the effect of the maximum age specification and specific interval
specification are independant of one another.

ad 677a105692 More work on newsyslog(8):
- Add some comments. It might be getting a little unclear what's going on.
- Make it useful as non-root.

Also, some new features taken from FreeBSD. The last two are not well
tested yet:

- Specifing log files on the command line limits operation to those files.
- Add cyclic time specification for periodic trimming.
- Add restricted ISO-8601 time specification for periodic trimming.
2000-07-18 15:59:24 +00:00
ad 5bf219a1a3 - Use _PATH_VARRUN.

ad 543370583e parse(): be sure to clear *log before filling. 2000-07-11 12:06:32 +00:00
ad ef0846927c - Detail flags in manpage using a table.
- Typo patrol.
- Add new flag, `p': keep zero'th historical log file uncompressed (plain).
  Inspired by woods' newsyslog package.
2000-07-11 11:39:46 +00:00
ad e854f5df38 Sorry about breakage - no connectivity at evenings or weekends for me. Anyway:
- Put back `-n' option. This is a slight improvement on its predecessor.
- More paranoid error checking.
- Fix miscellaneous buglets.

ad 2f3d5bfcd0 Don't allow more than one instance when running as root. 2000-07-07 13:53:14 +00:00
ad e55de4b4cf Overhaul newsyslog(8). Changes:
- Code cleanup.
- Better flowing English in manpage (in places).
- `-n' option has been removed (was mainly a debugging convenience, I think).
- Add `C' flag: create log file if one doesn't exist.

cgd 1fa77b6d55 Use:
.Sh SEE ALSO
rather than:
	.Sh "SEE ALSO"
The former is the correct form, and it makes a (barely persceptible)
difference in formatting for some output devices (e.g. 'ps').

ad 604db10508 - Add '-F' option which forces rotation of logs (from FreeBSD).
- Add 'sigtype' field specifying signal to be sent (from FreeBSD).
- Add 'N' flag which specifies that no signal should be sent.
- Fix some breakage.

ad 37a134f54b Add a new optional parameter to the configuration file, specifying the
path to a file containing a PID to send SIGHUP to. If omitted, the default
is to signal syslogd. Idea from FreeBSD.

ad b545302160 Allow use of use of ':' to separate user and group names, since elsewhere
'.' is a valid character in user and group names. '.' still works, but
':' takes priority.

jtc bea110759f Pass progname to the printf call in usage(). 1995-01-21 21:53:46 +00:00
jtc c15bd8dda9 Changed so that log entry format used when logfiles are rolled over
matches that of syslogd(8).  This is a slightly modified version of
the patch Thorsten Lockert supplied with PR #684.

Changed manpage to reflect the fact that we are using gzip instead
compress.
