My statement was a restatement of something from
<http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/06/rotating-linux-log-files-part-1-syslog/>.
Red Hat systems don't provide a script for rotating logs outside
of logrotate; if you want to rotate a log, they expect you to set
up rotation using logrotate.  As logrotate can be run from the
command line using a configuration file, it can be used as a
replacement for savelog.
