I use an external script (see attachment) to do this myself, running as a cron
job every two hours. The script creates bzipped log archives named for the time
the script was run, e.g.:
freenet.log-02:00-AM.bz2
freenet.log-02:00-PM.bz2
freenet.log-04:00-AM.bz2
freenet.log-04:00-PM.bz2
freenet.log-06:00-AM.bz2
freenet.log-06:00-PM.bz2
freenet.log-08:00-AM.bz2
freenet.log-08:00-PM.bz2
freenet.log-10:00-AM.bz2
freenet.log-10:00-PM.bz2
freenet.log-12:00-AM.bz2
freenet.log-12:00-PM.bz2
These are automatically overwritten each day.
