Take a look and modify this script: /sbin/init.d/syslogd

And look at these similar topics:

Hi Nandhino:

# cd /sbin/inid.d

# cp -p syslogd syslogd.old

Modifify "syslogd" file

 # If the OLDsyslog.log file exists...

                         if [ -f /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log ]

                         then

                              mv /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log /var/adm/syslog/OLDERsyslog.log

                         fi 

                        if [ -f /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log ]
                        then
                                # If PREV_OLDSYSLOG_LINES is not set correctly, assume default value 0.
