 I was looking into logrotate when helping to debug why the atrpms.net
 logrotate script was not rotating logs under particular circumstances
 (atrpms-users list, March  26 2007). I also noticed there was no similar
 script in /contrib for SVN, so thanks again to Axel for the inspiration.

 The attached script will rotate and compress the mythbackend logfile
 weekly for 8 rotations, irrespective of log size, and will keep the most
 recent logfile uncompressed until the next rotation.

 This script relies on the presence of a mythbackend pidfile, support for
 which I have included in #3370.

 Cheers,
 Nick
