I have the Linux program "logrotate" running under Solaris. Original
source is at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/code/logrotate/logrotate-3.3.tar.gz
It handles pre- and post-rotate commands (like restarting syslogd if
need be), optional compression, and optional mail notification. Very
handy for non-cyclog/multilog applications.
