Actually, the more I think about it, the more I realize that cyclog
does too much. Cyclog should work like this:
cyclog [ -ssize ] [ -mmargin ] dir program
"program" should be responsible for any files starting with an '@'
that have permission 0444. One such program might be "rmlog". It
would have these parameters:
rmlog [ -nnum ] dir
