I take back my suggestion.
LogRotate is not built to handle many little log files with different names. I
found out the hard way - I tried to make it work :(
The script by vagn will do the trick.
Another suggestion: put a variable in the line "tail -n +2” in place of the “2”
for how-many-files-to-keep+1 -- “2” only keeps one file. Other folks may want
to keep more.
