There is only two links, mythfrontend and mythbackend which Raymond
already posted. Mythpreviewgen creates many logs every day so I was
considering trying some sort of prerotate setup that would echo all of
the mythpreviewgen logs into a file and then tarring them up into one
log archive, but then what do you name it?
