Then how do you get the server to use the new logfile names each
day/week? You only need to send a SIGHUP to the server using that log
facility, so syslog would not be affected in your example.

Logrotate can use datestamps in the rotated logfile names. You can use
the postrotate facility to copy them automatically.
