What I want to know is if the elog program will do something on its own... I'm wanting to hang on to the logs a good while... I saw something in my readings about the elog system about 7 days... was not clear if that is a defalult or what. So my fear was losing them even if I am logrotate at them in some capacity. So I'm asking about inside the elog program... what happens to the logs and when.
