I would love to see this as well *sigh*. For most of our systems empty
means syslog is not working even though process seems to be running
  
Same for me, it would be great to have :
- warn if the logfile does not exist
- warn if the logfile is empty.


But then it would be great to also warn if the logfile is too big, too 
old, etc.
Maybe the external script bb-files.sh could be rewritten and added to 
Hobbit ?
