RE: [cobalt-users] Ageing logs

John Try

man logrotate

from the command line this will explain the things you need.
Logs can be compressed in a cron script when they exceed a certain size.
you can have logs e-mailed to an address when they have gone through a
certain number of log rotations.
I think that would work for you.
