large and growing log files

What utility would you recommend to rotate and cleanup log files? Is everyone scripting their own with cron? where do I find the daily,weekly, monthly periodic scripts? This all seems to be a given in all the distributions and google doesn't turn up anything that helpful in the firs

Re: log files

wrong? Delete the touched files. Syslogd is quite capable of creating the files if they don't already exist. It does it for everyone the first time we boot into LFS. Andy Nothing. I removed the empty log files, restarted, and even injected a few messages with logger, but no log files were creat
