You would not actually have to: you could just pipe pg_ctl's output to
pglog-rotator. But I think it'd be cool if pg_ctl had an option to use
pglog-rotator, or maybe even adopt it as standard behavior.

I think we would have to make the rotator script be mainstream rather
than contrib if we wanted pg_ctl to use it directly. That was why I was
thinking maybe mainstream ...

Andrew, could you toss up the script on pgsql-patches just so people can
take a look? Then we could think more about where to go with it.

regards, tom lane
