Yea, i tried this first to see what it did, and you're right it spits
out /var/log/syslog. my question was basically: how do you modify the
behavior of syslogd-listfiles?

Well, this is only half the solution; if i simply exit the script
without doing anything, i don't get the daily rotations. however, i
don't get the weekly ones either (which is what i want).
