[NTLUG:Discuss] Logrotate...

[GWH Technical Training]

Logrotate, although not included with the primary system of Solaris, has been available for download at least back as far as  Solaris 2.6.   It  should be able to be downloaded from sunfreeware.com.   Pretty much the same
functionality as what you have in RH.

Hope this helps...
