      Hi! Kurt,              In a message to All you wrote:               KW> What do you folks do to rotate logs?

I have       logs dating back to Dec '98, encompassing software no longer even in use.              After all maintenance tasks are completed, the daily pre-maint process BATch       re-starts Radius. The whole thing, pre-processing & maint, takes between       three & four minutes with the average at three and an half.              Cheers,       Paul.              ---         * Origin: For a good time call 86753099 (Jenny)...
