Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

The logrotate utility is designed to simplify the administration of log files on a system which generates a lot of log files. Logrotate allows for the automatic rotation compression, removal and mailing of log files. Logrotate can be set to handle a log file daily, weekly, monthly or when the log file gets to a certain size. Install the logrotate package if you need a utility to deal with the log files on your system.
