You can control how many old log files are kept by changing "rotate
4" to how many weeks of backlogs you want to keep, This is in
/etc/logrotate.conf. You can control individual logs by editing the
corresponding file in /etc/logrotate.d and adding/changing the
rotate line. You can find more information by running "man logrotate".
