Hi!

::NEWSYSLOG::
-------------
I want to rotate and pack my logs for Qpopper and ProFTPD
This is my lines in '/etc/newsyslog.conf':

#------------------
/var/log/qpopper.log	root:root	640	7	*	@T00	Z
/var/log/proftp.log	root:root	640	7	*	@T00	Z 
#------------------

It does not work =( What do I need to do?
Any suggestions?


::CRONTAB::
Im trying to run a shellscript for setting the time
against a NTP server. Im also want to run the analog
program for Apache2 logs.

The lines in '/etc/crontab':
#------------------
0	*	*	*	*	root	ntpdate.sh
0	*	*	*	*	root	analog 
#------------------

I also added the paths to this script & program like this:
PATH=./:/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/etc/rc.
d/ 

Neither of them is running? Is this possible at all?
FreeBSD verion is 4.9

A big thanks in advance
