The servers will run a cron to compress and send a log file (~100 MB) to log
cruncher. I doubt this will take up all the memory. However, there is a
'sleep 3600' in the cron job... will this cause some trouble?

My current bdflush looks like this "40      0       0       0       500
3000    60      0       0". According to the doc (below), changing it to
"100 500 200" would break the bdflush, wouldn't it?

Donald, please advise.

Thanks,
