If so, you could just add the file to the list of files in the logrotate configuration (/etc/logrotate). Logrotate essentially runs once per week (typically) and gzips the log, creating a new zero-byte log. Other gzipped log files are moved out of the way, or (ultimately) deleted. Are there items which you could search for in the file - such as time or date stamps, and hten use selection tools to filter those lines out? Ultimately, you could just pipe the stdout of the application through gzip, and compress its output: app - | gzip - >output.gz for instance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
