Handling 1 logs
rotating pattern: /var/log/exim4/paniclog forced from command line (10
rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/exim4/paniclog
log does not need rotating

According to the man page, the "-f" option should force the rotation,
even if logrotate thinks it is not necessary. Unfortunately, that does
not seem to work currently, for some reason.
The exim4-paniclog file is as shipped with exim4, and doing "logrotate
-f" in this manner has worked for me in stable for quite a while now.
