how to make the zipper log smaller automatically?

It should already been rotated automatically. In OpenSuse there is a rule in /etc/logrotate.d/zypper.lr. On my system it is:

Code:

$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/zypper.lr

/var/log/zypper.log {

    compress

    dateext

    notifempty

    missingok

    nocreate



    maxage 60

    rotate 99

    size 10M

}

This should rotate zypper.log if it is older than 60 days or bigger than 10M. You can also set the rotate flag to 0 if you want remove old files instead. Eventually reduce the max size or the day count if you want to rotate it more frequently.
