[syslog-ng] Closing destination file when date changes.

[Sandor Geller]

Hi,

Unused file destinations could get reaped, see time_reap(). However
you should take into account that the macros you used in the filename
are dependent of keep_timestamp() and by default use the timestamp in
the log message so the destination file could get opened when further
logs arrive with timestamps referring to the given date... If you want
to use files based on the receiver's time then I suggest using the R_
macros.

hth,

Sandor
