Re: log file rotation in hamm...

Ok Alan, tell me how you like this answer.  syslogd-listfiles has a -f
option.  With you you can pass it a BOGUS syslogd.conf file.  Here is
one I doctored for show purposes.

Run syslogd-listfiles -f test.conf and you will see how it works.  (Also
see the --weekly).

Now if you like this setup, edit cron.{daily,weekly}/sysklogd and add
the -f <file> to each call to syslogd-listfiles.
