I do something very similar in my batch trail using OPC/E. I keep 2
copies of /etc/syslog.conf, syslog.conf.a, syslog.conf.b,
which contain log name versions ending in either in .a or .b:
*.alert /dev/console
auth.* /tmp/auth.log.a
*.err /tmp/error.log.a
daemon.* /tmp/server.log.a
*.*;auth.none;daemon.none;local7.debug /tmp/trashcan.log.a .
The first step overlays /etc/syslog.conf with the next version, then I
issue the kill -HUP to force syslogd to reread /etc/syslog.conf.
We use SAR here so the remainder of the job copies the various logs over
to JES2 and then to SAR.
