Thanks, multilog looks like just what I needed.

multilog seems to be the only plug-and-play solution in debian (daemontools has an official package). But in my particular case, where I wanted to store the logs on a fat32 partition, the rotating does not work, since multilog wants to use a symlink. No plug and play for me:)

That cannot be true, as multilog nowhere creates or demands symbolic links. It is entirely neutral with respect to them.
