Re: schedule rotate of the system logs
We can do it using logrotate or with crontab.
Using logrotate:
lograte will do this effectively. configure in /etc/logrotate.conf.
Check in your system weather logroate is there or not as,
rpm -qa logrotate
or whereis logrotate
If you have use logrotate --help and see logrotate man page.
Using cron tab:
Make a script to move the to /dev/null or to a modified file with cp or mv command.
Then put that script in a crontab so that it will be executed on the specified to rotate the logs regarding to your script design
