Re: ARerror.log file size control
I have also wondered why there are not many option for arerror.log. I am thinking it is left simple because it is a core function that you want to happen every time something there is a system error. By adding more options and making it more complex there is more possibility something can go wrong with writing to the arerror.log when needed.

Re: ARerror.log file size control
On Solaris we just let the log grow to its set size, once filled the log scrolls off old records from the top. As there are 10x1000's of rows in the log its never been a problem with us loosing relevant information. The Log options provided by BMC allow this to happen automatically and we not needed to resort to log rotation. However, if needed, its pretty straightforward to set up and use logrotate as mentioned by Ron or even writing your own for those skilled in BASH or C shell command scripts.

Neha, You could write your own custom Remedy application that collects the arerror.log file daily and email it to you whilst clearing its contents on the server. We have written a small Remedy application that does this and sends an e-mail and SMS (optional) to the Admin/s on duty with app server disk usage stats and the arerror.log file attached for our own purposes.
