You assume that rotating logs daily is a good idea. On my (home)
server I run a weekly script from my crontab, and keep several weeks
of gzipped logs. On desktops I use a different script, but again
'weekly' (the desktops are not running permanently, and might be
booting different systems when I do experimental builds, or when I
update older systems, so 'weekly' is whenever fcron decides to run
it ;-)
Anyway, as long as your method works for you (e.g. it doesn't keep
writing to the old log after the rotation, and you keep as many old
versions as you desire, then all is good. In BLFS, one size does
not fit everyone.

This message is readable, but your previous message was
incomprehensible :
|Should this be changed 0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf to
install -vdm 755 /etc/|||cron.daily| cat >

Apparently there was a text/plain attachment after that, but because
people on some lists send html I get my mail client to use the html
first (without links).
