Re: Sysklogd Rotation

[Hari Sekhon <harisekhon@gmail.com>]

if you like C, you'll get on fine with syslog-ng, it's much more work

but it's more flexible.

if all you want to do is rotate logs like this, then why don't you just 
add the 4 or 5 lines to logrotate to do this for you? It'll be a lot 
quicker than reading through the syslog-ng manual.
