While maybe a little too non-cli for some folks, I like to use Webmin's GUI for setting up log rotation. Nice, quick, easy, hard to get it wrong....

In my installations, I have total control via Webmin and can create and alter existing log file rotations via an easy to follow GUI. YMMV. Maybe you have a dev box you can try it on? Installation is simple. I recommend putting it on a non-standard port and not using the default username admin. You could also install it but don't have it run as a service. Webmin is nice for a good many things nix, I am a fan. Just secure it as much as possible.

Thanks a lot.Sorry, sometime I presume people just need a pointer in the right direction. I should have said "have a look at /etc/logrotate.* files on a GNU/Linux box and copy one.
