Logfile Size

[Eli Stair]

The easiest thing would likely be to make a quick logrotate definition 
for the log file.  The logrotating tool will depend on your 
distribution, but they're all quite simple.  Your existing system logs 
are (likely) already being taken care of this way, just find their 
configs and use as a reference.
