Somebody else has already suggested cyclog from the daemontools package
from DJB. For the cases where you want to send all the output to a
single file, I wrote qfilelog, available at:
http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~bguenter/distrib/qlogtools/
It has the additional feature of closing and re-opening its output file
when sent a HUP, for doing periodic log rotation.
