Yes, wouldn't it be nice if cyclog had another parameter, like this:
cyclog: usage: cyclog [ -ssize ] [ -nnum ] [ -mmargin ] dir program
where ``program'' gets called with an additional argument which is the
name of the file cyclog has just ceased writing to.

Of course, that breaks cyclog's guarantee of never filling your disk.
