Add a new entry in newsyslog

[cyrille]

Hi
I'd like to rotate automount.log because I've see that his log reaches more 300 Mo !
So I'd like to add a new entry in /etc/newsyslog.conf but I asked if anybody can validate it:

/var/log/automount.log 640  7       *   $W0D23    JC

If the PC is switched off at the time of the action, will it be launched when it starts up or resumes from standby?

Or perhaps, it'll better to do

/var/log/automount.log 640  7       1000   *    JC

?

Thanks

Add it as a separate file in /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/, so it doesn't get mangled when you update/upgrade.
