<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I don't rotate the log files hourly - its a straight out of the box Redhat 7.3 system. My script creates a temporary file containing the entries for the previous hour and then it analyses that file. It also requires that you set the mailscanner option log spam to yes so that the info is logged in the file. On a busy server this may well make you log files pretty large.</font>

How do you get the log file to rotate hourly?<br>
