Hi there

You will need to use the /etc/logrotate.conf or /etc/logrotate.d/*.conf files to be similar to his

Code:

# see "man logrotate" for details 

 # rotate log files weekly 

 weekly



 # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs 

 rotate 4



 # send errors to root 

 errors root



 # 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 lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here 

 /var/log/wtmp {

    monthly

    create 0664 root utmp

    rotate 1

 }



 /var/log/lastlog {

    monthly

    rotate 1

 }



 # system-specific logs may be configured here 

 ## rotate apache logs weekly, keeping 8 rotations

 /www/apache/var/logs/*log {

    rotate 8

    postrotate

      kill -HUP `cat /www/apache/var/logs/httpd.pid`

    endscript

 }

You can tweak this ocnf to suit your needs
