From bugs.debian.org:

I would like to suggest that for a destination that is a pipe (or perhaps any destination that is not a local file) that the oldest messages are deleted to make room for newer messages, rather than the other way around, as is currently being done. This suggestion could perhaps be a configuration option for every destination driver, eg, destination xconsole { pipe("/dev/xconsole" owner("root") lose(oldest)); file("/var/log/xcons.log" owner("root") lose(newest)); }; with the default being backwards compatible with the current policy, ie, lose(newest). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
