<h1 id="logrotate">1. Logrotate</h1>
<p><a href="https://fedorahosted.org/logrotate/">Logrotate</a>
allows automatic rotation, compression,
removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may
be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows
too large. I have used Mikhail Kolesnik from openbunker,
use syslog-ng as example how to create package from now on.</p>
<pre>
$ sudo prt-get depinst logrotate
$ sudo vim /etc/logrotate.conf
</pre>

IMPORTANTE
Preciso por o logrotate a comprimir apenas depois do
segundo ciclo para o samhain ficar feliz.
Thus log rotation will be handled gracefully as long
as the inode is kept (i.e. the old file is moved rather than copied)
and the first rotated file is not compressed (the logrotate tool can
be told to compress only after the second cycle, and on Debian this
seems to be standard anyway).
