If everyone around here had gotten their way we'd already be in a situation

log_rotation_age = 5m

abbreviations? So the min, sec, hr, day, wk, mth, yr ar all, to my knowledge, unambiguous.  As are kb, mb, gb, tb.  So
theabove would be:<br /> log_rotation_age = 5min<br /> log_rotation_size = 5mb<br /> edinburgh_distance=5mi<br /><br />
