LOG_COMPRESS=/bin/gzip
I tried once tu put a -f option for LOG_COMPRESS (so that I had the
following line :
LOG_COMPRESS="/bin/gzip -f") but then I got these errors :

gzip: /bin/gzip.gz: Permission denied
gzip: /bin/gzip.gz: Permission denied
gzip: /bin/gzip.gz: Permission denied
gzip: /bin/gzip.gz: Permission denied
gzip: /bin/gzip.gz: Permission denied
