managelogs

managelogs is a log processing utility primarily intended to be used in conjunction with Apache's piped logfile feature. It is an alternative to the well know rotatelogs and cronolog programs. Its primary purpose is to solve the 'log filesystem full' issue by purging the oldest log files when the total log size exceeds a given value. It also provides a lot of useful features like on-the-fly compression, symbolic links to the current and archive log files, setuid to a given user, writing to multiple output channels, and more.
