I have recently uploaded the latest release of Chklogs
(v1.9)
Description: A Perl script (can be cron'ed) for maintenance of system
logs. It checks your list of system logs against maximum
allowed sizes specified by you. If a log has grown past its
limit it can truncate them to zero size , archive them or
So, other than the execute program bit: how does this differ from
BSD's newsyslog facility, which allows to specify, per log file,
maximum size, maximum age, maximum number of kept logs, and whether
back ones are compressed?
