I'd like to see a separate package for this as well. It's a pain
doing it by hand and I'm too busy/lazy to write a shell script to do
it automatically!

Is there an advantage of the rotatelogs program over the savelog script?
I like the script so much, I use it on a sun that I admin and for rotating
my own user logs (e.g. procmails log).

There's a rotatelogs program in one of the web server packages, I think.
It should be broken out into its own package.

log rotation package?

1997-11-22 Thread David Stern
Hi people,

Is there a .deb log rotation package?  You know what I mean, just
something to swap out the logs in /var/.. every week and rename them
*.1, *.2, ..  up to the number of weeks you want to keep them.  This has
been on my mind for quite some time, because I've been thinking that
it's just gotta be on the cd somewhere, but I've looked and searched all
over,..  With 980 packages, maybe I missed it, though.  

I saw the remark in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd, but I'm having a difficult
time imagining that all debian users write their own scripts for this
procedure.  I know I could do it, but it wouldn't be a pretty sight.
