From the keyboard of Marcel Moolenaar:
> Below is a small set of patches to change the behaviour of isdnd when it's

After the discussion here, i made this patch's functionality configurable by
using a new keyword in the system section:
rotatesuffix
Specifies a suffix for renaming the log- and the ac-
countingfilename. In case rotatesuffix is used and a
USR1 signal is sent to isdnd, the logfile and the
accounting file is not only closed and reopened but
the old logfile is also renamed to the former file-
name with the rotatesuffix string appended. If this
keyword is omitted, the logfiles are just closed and
reopened; this is also the default behaviour. (op-
tional)
Hope, this is ok for both camps ;-)
