An other way to solve this problem, is to add a new option, like "date" and
"dateformat:
/var/log/messages {
rotate 5
weekly
date
dateformat "yyyy-mm-dd"
postrotate
/sbin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
Taking patches, but not planning to do much more than that at this point. Bug 108775 has a patch for something similar. |
