I just put together a script to run 'savelog' which comes with Slackware 8.0 and seems to do the job nicely. It is short, so here it is: -------- #!/bin/bash cd /var/log savelog -c 30 -t debug savelog -c 30 -t messages savelog -c 30 -t syslog savelog -c 30 -t wtmp ---------- I called it "bumplogs" and put it in /usr/local/bin; it is invoked once a day from the root crontab with the following line: 1 7 * * * /usr/local/bin/bumplogs and it seems to do the job. The "-c 30" tells it to keep 30 days worth of log files, the "-t" tells it to create an empty file each time it moves the file to a backup, and I may add a "-L" to tell it not to compress them, but this script does not contain that yet. I have not looked for logrotate that Adam recommended; this thing seems to work for me.
