    Andreas' script probably uses the cleanest method for creating a new, empty
    logfile: touch(1). I just want to point out that "cp /dev/null BLAH" is hardly
    ever necessary:
        
        >BLAH works well under virtually all modern shells
    
        : >BLAH probably works under *all* shells; it certainly works for the
        versions of Csh to which I have access.
