Well, I'm not an expert on how it works, but there is the logrotate 
function that is run by cron each week, which keeps the last 4 weeks 
worth of logs in seperate files, and adds the one that would be 5th 
to an archive of that log to date, it taking up less space in the .gz 
format.  Humm, I may have miss-spoke, I see my particular setup is 
not keeping the .gz for any of it so I only have 4 weeks plus the 
current one on hand at any one time.  In any event, see the manpage 
for logrotate, it may be helpfull.
