If you're using Red Hat, you can always use the "size=" parameter in the
logrorate scripts. As an example (of the top of my head - UNTESTED!)
you can have /etc/logrotate.d/mythlog
/var/log/mythth/mythbackend.log {
daily
create 0644 mythtv mythtv
rotate 5
size 100k
}
And since logrotate runs daily by default, you can put a symlink in the
to /etc/cron.daily/logrotate into /etc/cron.hourly/
