I tried "logrotate" and with the "-f" option, but it displays version and brief help message. I dont believe I understand the man page to well, any pointers? I also do not have X installed on it.
Hi Mike,
Actually it's all been set up, but /var/log/messages would be rotated on weekly basis, if you want it daily, you can done so by changing:
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog:
{
sharedscripts
rotate 5
weekly <<<<<<<<<----- CHANGE THIS INTO DAILY
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd #
endscript
}
Make sure that you set your crontab to execute the command (crond.daily, logrotate). It's all there should be.

Thanks, Fajar I edited the /etc/logrotate.d/syslog to daily instead of weekly. Under /etc/cron.daily I have logrotate* so I should be good to go.
