Humm, I may have miss-spoke, I see my particular setup is not keeping the .gz for any of it so I only have 4 weeks plus the current one on hand at any one time. In any event, see the manpage for logrotate, it may be helpfull. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
