Re: [nylug-talk] Mailing compressed log files with logrotate

[Andrew Yochum <andrew-list@digitalpulp.com>]

Well... I broke down and dug through logrotates code, and changed it 
to uuencode the file and email it to me as opposed to gunzip'ing the 
file and emailing pieces, added a little "sed" to make the 
attachment's filename nice, and voila... it emails gzip'ed log files.

If anyone is interested in this, let me know and I'll send it your way.
