But, by far the better way is to edit your /etc/logrotate.conf file so that there aren't so many in the first place. With your favorite editor, open /etc/logrotate.conf and change every instance of "rotate 4" to "rotate 1" (so you only keep 1 week of backlogs) and every instance of "monthly" to "weekly" and every instance of "weekly" to "daily".
That should take care of it. eryl
