This is the directory listing of my system:
stse@osgiliath:~$ ls /var/log/mythtv/
mythbackend.20120509182532.8836.log mythmetadatalookup.20120510203004.13562.log mythpreviewgen.20120510203004.13559.log

My system is switched off in the evening, so I get a new logfile every
day. I don’t think that logrotate will know which files are the current
ones and which are old. What do you think?
Shade and sweet water!
