We could make the following +solution: + +in logwatch.cfg one can add paramters to logfiles, e.g. +/var/log/* ; maxlines=20000 + +That way processing would parse at most 20000 new lines in the +file and *add an artificial error message* with state "C" +or "W" if this limit is exceeded. + +Exceeding lines are not lost but processed in the next +turn.
