<PRE>&gt;<i>You have my vote for that. :)  I'm looking at log files that run into the
</I>&gt;<i>100's of megs, and it would be nice to shuffle them off to another place,
</I>&gt;<i>or automate it in some fashion.
</I>
Here's my idea.  At midnight, start a new logfile (eg.
services.log.YYYYMMDD), close the old one, and update a symlink
(services.log) to point to the latest logfile.  After a few days' running,
the log directory would look like this:

services.log -&gt; ./services.log.20001004
services.log.20001001
services.log.20001002
services.log.20001003
services.log.20001004

An optional setting to compress/move logfiles a week old (or so) would also
be helpful, I suspect.

Just my 2 pence...
