How about using the flag "0" similar to that in newsyslog written by
Theodore Ts'o of MIT Project Athena:
0 The 0 flag means that the most recent archive of the log
file (i.e. the one that ends in ``.0'') should not be
compressed even when the Z flag is given. (This flag may
also be specified as P for compatability with NetBSD.)
This flag is necessary when managing log files written
directly to by long-running processes (eg. smail, httpd,
etc.). This flag also makes it more convenient to browse
through the most recently archived log file without hav-
ing to first uncompress it or use tools like zmore, or
zgrep, etc.
Best regards,
Dirk
