The largest PID is now 99999
Reported by: Ben Stuyts <ben@stuyts.nl>

Add optional config file field: signal number to send (defaulted to HUP)
F.e. apache restarts less agressively on USR1 then on HUP

1) kill -HUP syslog, even if compressing supposedly "binary" files
PR: docs/6385

2) -n (noaction) does not imply -r (run as non-root), since as of
Rev. 1.12 (ache), -r changes actual behaviour.

Arg! Someone fixed the synopsis in -stable's newsyslog.8, but not
in -current. However, they fixed both the ordering and the missing -F
flag. Merge from 22 and fix ordering here, too.

Fix the usage here, too (-F option).

Typo fix in comment ("Force the tim now matter what" s/tim/trim/)

Add "-F" (force) flag to newsyslog.

Sleep 10secs after kill -HUP instead of 3secs, some daemons like Apache
may have log time to re-configure

Cosmetic in err() strings.

Allow a '-' flag as a placeholder so that path_to_pid_file
can be specified without the flags field.
Fix bogus "trail" left in parse routine where the code jumps
past the end of the line and wanders

Do not kill -HUP syslog if running in user mode (-r), it allows
private user logs rotation without error diagnostics

1) Add yet one optional field: pid file to send SIGHUP to if log rotated
(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.

2) Do not compress log if SIGH

(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.

2) Do not compress log if SIGHUP sending failed for some reason
(f.e. pid file deleted). Newcoming messages will be lost
otherwise.

3) Misc cleanup while I am here.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Doh! Actually read the patch I applied and see what it was *trying* to do,
then make it do that.

Added function prototypes and removed in-line prototypes of standard
functions such as malloc and time.

Fix uninitialized variable that caused a core dump if /etc/newsyslog.conf
was empty. Closes PR bin/1300.

host and MAXPATHLEN for filenames.

imported the newsyslog command from NetBSD - it make the "rotation" of
the logfiles much simpler (it is currently done by "hand" in the
/etc/[daily,weekly,monthly] scripts) - now it will be done by invoking
newsyslog every hour which is very customizable via a
/etc/newsyslog.conf file
