Hi Minaketan,

If you only want to keep two pqact.log log files on disk, a simple
approach is to do the following:

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm/logs
cp pqact.log pqact.log.1
cp /dev/null > pqact.log

Of course, this can be instantiated into a script that is run out of
your crontab file.

Pretty heavy handed, but it should work fine.

Cheers,

Tom
