Dear rsysloggers,

I am experimenting with replacing the standard Unix logfile rotation
scheme with something more useful:

  $template authlog,"/var/log/auth.log_%$NOW%"
  auth,authpriv.* ?authlog

One problem with this approach is that standard tools now cannot
find /var/log/auth.log anymore. The canonical way to solve this
could be to maintain a symlink from /var/log/auth.log to the current
/var/log/auth.log_%$NOW%. Can rsyslog maintain this symlink
somehow? The only thing I found was the Shell Execute action, which
would lead to a gross hack.

Thanks,
