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,
I just installed hamm, and I noticed that the log file rotation in
/etc/cron.{daily,weekly}/sysklogd now uses a facility called
syslogd-listfiles. does anyone know how to change the periodicity
with which logs are rotated? most notably, i want to rotate syslog on
a weekly, not daily basis, but

Well, this is only half the solution; if i simply exit the script
without doing anything, i don't get the daily rotations. however, i
don't get the weekly ones either (which is what i want).
-alan
So move the script from daily to weekly. Then it gets run when you want
it to

I did not see the full scope of the question. I am away from my Debian
box. Alan, would you send a very clear, concise e-mail back to the list
that better explains what you want? If the current scrpt fails in some
respect then it can be updated -- that is the Debian way (-: Post a

OK, both Norman and Shaleh didn't understand my question. i can only
conclude that i'm an idiot. =) here's a second shot:
these are the output of 'syslogd-listfiles' and
'syslogd-listfiles --weekly':

Have you tried man on syslogd-listfiles?? It should give you a
pointer. If not, contact the packages maintainer and ask him. He/she
will know the correct way to do this. If the script needs editing or a
conf file he can either make his own or ask for help. If this is not
resolved, I will look

it seems to me that there should be a way to do this, but currently it
requires an act of god, or at least some really gross changes to
