RE: [FW1] Solaris log rotation script

[Yim Lee <yimwlee@FW1-NOSPAMyahoo.com>]

A few things you can do:

1.  You can delete the logs after x number of days. 
You can do something like this:

find $FWDIR/log -name *log* -d +x 

x=number of days that a file has not been modified.

2.  Export the logs to text format and import into
some database (i.e., oracle).
