Maybe I missed part of this thread, but as of "like 10/05/03" cvs
there was a new app added for this called (I think) "logrotate".
It's supposed to allow you to send * a remote command and rotate
your logs. I upgraded for this feature but have not had time to test it 
yet, it's  on my "look at" list. Like I said maybe I missed part of 
thread but you should be able to setup a cron job and forget about it.
Anybody using the "logrotate" app?
