Re: [HTCondor-users] Configuration of logging

To be fair, HTCondor's software legacy is coming up on three decades.

However, my cronjob for compression would also need to: 
- Check which files to compress (e.g. by matching all uncompressed files with date-extension). 
- Take care by itself about expiring and deleting old logs. 

In the end, this feels like I have to reinvent parts of logrotate. 
It's sad I have to solve a problem once more which had been solved for good on all Unix platforms over two decades ago.
