Re: Log rotation?

Yeah, I use FreeBSD's wonderful newsyslog utility, and I do my logging like
this:

su -l pgsql -c '[ -d ${PGDATA} ] && exec /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl
start -s -w -o "-i" -l /var/log/pgsql.log'

And my /etc/newsyslog.conf entry:

/var/log/pgsql.log      pgsql:pgsql     600  3     4096 *     Z
