Lets assume the following entry in /etc/newsyslog.conf: /var/log/httpd-suexec.log 640 14 * @T00 JC After 14 days, there are 14 compressed files httpd-suexec.N.log.bz2 in /var/log. Now lower the count from 14 to 7: /var/log/httpd-suexec.log 640 7 * @T00 JC One may assume, that newsyslog will delete 7 files in the next run, since there should only be kept 7 old logfiles. But it doesn't, it just deletes the 8th old logfile (httpd-suexec.log.7.bz2) and keeps httpd-suexec.log.{8,9,10,11,12,13}.bz2.
