That's good for the files I know I have links for but I was hoping for a
way that I could catch new logging to files I forgot to link to
/dev/null.  Unless I can do:

  file /var/log

and have it monitor any file in the directory, this falls short of
perfect for my needs.  I'll try that, though.  Maybe I'll be pleasantly
surprised. ;-)
