Re: rotate logs when they reach a certain size

[Keith R Wood <linux twopuppypress com>]

find DIRECTORYNAME -size XX -type f -exec rm -f {} ";"

The above command will search starting in the directory DIRECTORYNAME
(and below) and find all files that are of size XX and delete them.

This command could easily be put in a crontab file.

XX is in 512 byte blocks by default. If c follows XX then the units will
be bytes, if k follows XX then the units would be kilobytes.

Hope this helps.
