Thanks for the code and how to archive my logs, but the problem is that with
a one map server the log file grows to 4-5MB per day, and over the course of
a few days the server starts to lag, all I want it to to is create a new log
file every 1-2 MB, is there a setting to do this?
I appreciate the log script tho, I archive my logs every 3 months (to help
with the stats record keeping) so this WILL come in handy ;)
