Greetingz!

You'll want to take a look at the man page for "logrotate". There you can specify which logs get rotated when (daily, weekly, monthly, etc, etc).
Here's an example of a /etc/logrotate.conf file;

Code:

sysop@hydra(Linux)log$ grep . /etc/logrotate.conf
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    minsize 1M
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}
# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.
