Hi, This is probably a question more for the coders than the list in general, but: I'm currently running 1.4.12 on FreeBSD as a central server, and wanted to know, if/when compress() was going to be implemented? Also, compress() begs the question: will compression be on the fly, or after rotation to another file (e.g. file("/logs/routers/$YEAR-$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST"); ). I guess the question to follow would be for the list at large: Has anyone come up with clever/interesting ways to archive/move old logs?
