"FreeBSD provides a basic log file handler, newsyslog. Click here to find out more!
The newsyslog program handles standard log file rotation. The oldest logs are deleted. Each old log is renamed. Finally, the current log is moved and a new log file is created. The newsyslog program can also compress files, restart daemons, and in general handle all the routine tasks of shuffling files." more
