[syslog-ng] Circular File Output

[Kenneth Kassing]

I have an idea I would like to run by everyone, but first I will provide 
a brief background of my situation.

I am using syslog-ng on an embedded Linux device with a limited amount 
of resources.  To this end, I must maintain very small log files.  I 
have looked into log rotation, but do not wish to take the crond / 
logrotate approach.

Ideally, it would be nice if Linux natively supported a cyclic file type 
so that I may limit the file size externally from syslog-ng.  I have 
explored the idea of developing an external sever which will manage a 
circular file for me, but I feel it would be much more efficient to add 
this functionality to syslog-ng directly.

Let me know if this sounds feasible.
