Switch logs frequently by using "fw logswitch [name of new log]"
You could use a cron job to automate your log backups.
Ex:
0 1 * * 6 /opt/pkg/FireWall-1*/bin/fw logswitch [name of new log]
(States Every Sunday @ 1am, switch the FW-1 log file to the new name)
After this line, you will want to rename the new log file to something
like (Date 26Mar2002-08:30), so next Sundays logswitch will not
overwrite the previous Sunday's. This process is done by using a line
similar to : 5 1 * * 6 mv /opt/pkg/FireWall-1*/log/[name of new
log].log /var/admin/fw1/logs/`date`.log

The log files on our FW1 are becoming very large, too a point where they
are unmanageable. We currently log everything long, is this a common
practice?
Also I would employ a script that would back up the logs daily and roll
them over. But I am terrible at scripting, does a how-to for this
procedure exist? Phone boy is a great site, but it assumes your already
script proficient.
