Why not create a logrotate config file such as
/etc/logrotate.d/xsession_errors with the following configuration:
"/home/*/.xsession_errors"
{
rotate 1
size 500k
copytruncate
missingok
compress
}
It will check the file size daily and create one compressed copy
whenever the file exceeds 500k, then remove the oldest copy and truncate
.xsession_errors. to zero size.
I mean, why reinventing the wheel when we already have such a tool like
logrotate.
