Hi Paul,

        You could modify the cron entry itself to execute a second command -- your echo.  Just add a ";" and your command.  Off you go -- I think. ;-)

Subject	{bb} Solaris 9 messages test

I see that in solaris 9, Sun has bestowed their wonderful
knowledge 
on us lowly sys admins that the log rotation is now a binary.

My typical modification is a statement in /usr/lib/newsyslog:

echo `date "+%b %e %T"` `uname -n` newsyslog: message log rotated
>
$LOG

And that gives me all I need.  We log to the local messages file as
well 
as to a remote syslog server.  With this new binary approach, do I
need to modify the default cron entry to call a shell script that 
calls logadm and then echos the above line out to the log file, 
or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Paul
