This won't help for the admin-xxx.log files, but for your own logging I
highly recommend Apache Jakarta Log4J.
It has all kinds of features including the ability to turn on/off debug
logging for the entire app or just a specific list of classes.  You can also
tailor the look of your logs and automatically include class, function, line
number
without putting these in your log statement.  Of course you can set a
rotation size and how many rotated out logs you want to keep.
We switched to using log4j many months ago, eliminating the need to
comment/uncomment debug logging.
Note that if you do include class,function,line number info, log4j gets this
information by doing a printStackTrace() which can really slow down your
processing.  (This happens without your knowledge unless you study its code
or a profiler's output.)  No real problem thouqh -- turning of the debugging
stops this logging
(of the cat.debug() statements).  Note the debug statements are still in
there, they are called but immediately return having an insignificant impact
on processiing time.

I'm still using JRun 3.0 sp2a, so ignore all this if JRun 3.1 offers a
better solution.
