These are changes to newsyslog to add a -F option. The -F option is necessary to allow a support engineer a clean state against which a problem may be repeated. The intent is to allow the problem, which is unidentified, to be identified in the shortest time possible. Effectively, the engineer will do a: newsyslog -F After this, the engineer will repeat the problem, and the logs will be dumped. The logs will contain *only* information pertinent to the repetition of the problem. End Of Document.
