Title:          ChkLogs
Version:        2.0
Description:    A Perl script (can be cron'ed) for maintenance of system
                logs. It checks your list of system logs against maximum
                allowed sizes specified by you. If a log has grown past its
                limit it can truncate them to zero size , archive them or
                alternatively execute a program of your choice.
                Either of these actions can be specified per log. When
                archiving shuffling is performed (remove oldest archive)
                when the maximum nr. of archives has been reached. This
                maximum nr. is also specified on a per log basis. Report
                can be produced on stdout or sent by mail to admin user.
                It can also just check without taking any further action
                besides reporting.
                Additionally it supports age-based thresholds instead of
                size. Supports global and local repositories, syslog control,
                logical groups and other features. Graphical User Interface
                distributed separately as xchklogs.
