[IRCServices] Turning over logs with crontab?

[&quot]

You have my vote for that. :)  I'm looking at log files that run into the 100's of megs, and it would be nice to shuffle them off to another place, or automate it in some fashion.

Hi,

Andrew...

Can we possibly look into some changes into services whereby log files are
rotated automatically, say at a time set in the config file?

Perhaps automating the logs to rotate should be a bit more, sufficient?
