Marcus,
I was looking at some online documentation on syslog-ng
http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference-2.0/syslog-ng.html/index.html
You might be able to have syslog-ng write to a day-of-the-week
specific file by using the $WEEKDAY macro in the file() destination
driver. This would accomplish something similar to sending the
syslog daemon a SIGHUP after renaming the log file.
Please remember that hardly know anything about syslog-ng.
Regards,
Steve Emmerson
