RE: [cobalt-users] Log Rotate?

[aljuhani <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

In linux you can type man then the command you want to know about.  For 
logrotate just type "man logrotate" and that will show you a text 
description/options of the command.

Here what it says about logrotate:

DESCRIPTION logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that 
generate large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression 
removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may be handled daily weekly, 
monthly, or when it grows too large Normally, logrotate is run as a daily cron 
job. It will not modify a log multiple times in one day unless the criterium 
for that log is based on the log's size and logrotate
