Lard is a Logging and Rotation Daemon that can replace the functionality of sysklogd and logrotate together.

Logging is done almost exactly the same as syslogd, with added features such as regex matching and command triggers.

Rotation can be triggered while the daemon is running safely by sending it a simple signal.

What's New in This Release:
Added -d, the typical debug option which implies -n.
Right now it doesn't spit out that much debug info yet but I will add more debug statements later as codebase grows.
Lard also can handle multiple 'match' statements which makes it easier to select specific messages.
On top of that, you can now use 'filter' to prune unwanted messages.
