logrotate for Debian
--------------------

Note that logrotate is not the only log rotation program on a typical 
Debian system. sysklogd uses its own log rotation scripts which can be 
found in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd and /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd

Logrotate prerotate/postrotate/firstaction/lastaction scripts are 
currently executed by giving the whole script to "sh -c" thus:

    execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", script, "sh", logfn, NULL);

This might change in future versions.
