  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>You have my vote for that. :)  I'm looking at log files that run into the
  35 </I>&gt;<i>100's of megs, and it would be nice to shuffle them off to another place,
  36 </I>&gt;<i>or automate it in some fashion.
  37 </I>
  38 Here's my idea.  At midnight, start a new logfile (eg.
  39 services.log.YYYYMMDD), close the old one, and update a symlink
  40 (services.log) to point to the latest logfile.  After a few days' running,
  41 the log directory would look like this:
  42
  43 services.log -&gt; ./services.log.20001004
  44 services.log.20001001
  45 services.log.20001002
  46 services.log.20001003
  47 services.log.20001004
  48
  49 An optional setting to compress/move logfiles a week old (or so) would also
  50 be helpful, I suspect.

  52 Just my 2 pence...
