+         For traditional Unix based systems such as Solaris and HPUnix we
recommend using
+         rotatelog, a free Perl based log rotator from InterHack
(http://www.interhack.net
+         /projects/rotatelog/). A sample logrotate script
(/usr/local/etc/rotatelog.conf)
+         is shown below.
