log rotation

[neuron]

for quite a while now I've setup logrotate and configured every logfile that's big there in logrotate manually. I also occasionally have to add something to postrotate to get the application to run properly after the logs have been "emptied".

Is there any "cleaner" way to rotate logs? I have to go over logs on my server again now, as some of them are getting far too big.

Is it likely that most logging there is going through syslog, so I could use something like "remove_if_older" in syslog to handle the rotation?

I'm sure I'm missing something here. As far as I can see, logrotate will change the logs, compress the old log and then delete an old log when more than a configured number of old logs have collected. This is done individually for messages, access_log &c.
