    I've tried several forms:

        /etc/rsyslog.d/emptyfile.conf

        :source, isequal, 192.168.1.9 /var/log/tomato.log
        :source, isequal, 192.168.1.9 ~

    But can't find the right one.

        [bobg at box9 ~]$ cat /var/log/tomato.log

        Aug 20 10:30:24 box9 rsyslogd: the last error occured in
        /etc/rsyslog.d/emptyfile.conf, line 3:":source, isequal,
        192.168.1.9 /var/log/tomato.log"
