[Logs-devel] file-follower & file rollover

Hey guys,

I've been asked to start monitoring PBS server logs.  Unlike syslog 
maintained log files, a new file is created for each day.  

I can see two ways of attacking this with LoGS.

1. Declare File-Follower to be the most flexable thing ever and have it 
take care of the new filename.  This would probably make specifying files 
somewhat more complex.

2. Create a subclass of file-follower for files that rollover the way that 
PBS log files do.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim
