+<PRE>><i>You have my vote for that. :) I'm looking at log files that run into the
+</I>><i>100's of megs, and it would be nice to shuffle them off to another place,
+</I>><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 -> ./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...
