No, this script is simply is for logrotate, you need to install logrotate before that and put that script into /etc/logrotate.d (might depend on your distro, but generally this is a location).
If you need to archive your current logfile, I'd suggest stopping kannel, doing bzip2 *.log in your kannel's directory, with logrotate running this would be done automatically, also you can configure logs purging please include users @ kannel .org, so others would benefit too. 2013/5/24 BMan <[email protected]> > Hey mate, thank you for quick reply.
