man newsyslog there's no need for another program to mess with log files. and why is nntpcached unexpectedly dying on you? I'd be looking to solve the problem instead of having another program restart it for you if it breaks. There's no reason nntpcache should just stop working for no reason, ours has been up non-stop since it was installed with no issues.

I'm currently running nntpcached with the "-n" switch (do not detach from tty) so that I can control nntpcached using Dan Bernstein's daemontools package: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html which will automatically restart nntpcached if it dies unexpectedly. It would be nice if nntpcached had a switch (or perhaps a directive in the configuration file) which would instruct it to send all messages to stdout instead of to syslogd. The reason for this is that it would permit log messages to be captured by Dan Bernstein's multilog program (part of the daemontools package) http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html multilog lets you specify (amongst many other things) how large a logfile is allowed to grow and how many old logfiles should be kept when multilog auto-rotates the logfile.
