[Bug 362834] [NEW] atop raw datafile should be renamed or not stored in /var/log

[agent 8131]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: atop

By default the atop init script sets up a binary log at
/var/log/atop.log.  I have found this frustrating when using various
tools such as tail, xtail, and grep in which I'd like to search human
readable logs.  Since atop.log is a binary file I suggest it either uses
a different name or a different location.  I've updated all my init
scripts to put it in /var/lib/misc.  If it were renamed from .log but
kept in /var/log it would also need a logrotate.d file so I found that
moving it was the easier way to go.
