OK, I couldn't wait and logged on.  It seems that I also have
mythfrontend logging.  Well impressed with Mario for setting this up
since I always wish I had logs on the odd occassion I get a FE crash.
Mine also seem to be rotating too :)

I also have a file in /etc/logrotate.d called mythtv-frontend, which
has the following config:

/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log {
        daily
        rotate 7
        notifempty
        copytruncate
        missingok
}

/var/log/mythtv/mythwelcome.log {
        daily
        rotate 7
        notifempty
        copytruncate
        missingok
}

Perhaps check that you have all of the above, that you have logrotate
installed and that the daemon is running (and set to run
automagically).

Cheers,
Whytey
