Yes, scripts is the big Problem. Rsyslog actually had high-precision
timestamps right from the beginning, but nobody ever used them. So I
decided to change the default ;)


On the scripts: I am thinking about a simple converter that takes high
precision log files and converts them to old-style low precision ones.
Such a converter could be run before the actual script. Do you (or
someone else) think this is useful and worth the effort?
