One of the sample Meta-Update scripts sets the log files. That could easily be adapted to do a gzip or zip as well. It could also generate the next log file name using any convention you like and even ftp or send it by email.
It can be invoked through cron, or at (Windows) at intervals or trough s batch file or shell script that monitors the size of the current log file. To view that script, go to Products, Meta-Update, then Script Library. It's the log switching script. Cheers Ben Chernys Senior Software Architect Software Tool House Inc.

The file was stored with the name userYYYYMM.log. The newest version 7.6.04 is supposed to allow you to truncate a log file without turning it of first. I have not tested it though. This would simplify rotating the log file significantly. This kind of size for a single month seems excessive. I have seen this only when you have some kind of integration logging in and out very frequently...
