    I have the following in /etc/newsylog for messsages:

    /var/log/messages 644 24 * $MLDO Z

    I assumed that this would cause /var/log/messages to be rotated on
    last day of the month. Evidently not. I used the same format
    of FreeBSD, and I couldn't find what ngen meant in man pages for
    newssyslog.

    My crontab has this entry:

    # rotate log files every hour, if necessary
    0 * * * * /usr/bin/newsyslog

    anyone?
