We have a huge logfile being written by a vendor's application. Let's assume the vendor won't do anything that we ask. Is there any way of rotating that logfile? We're looking at about 300 MB an hour being written – I'd much rather chunk that into 10 MB pieces, and let anything older than a day or over 1000 files fall off a cliff.

Aha – the Chomp log was dead, but searching for "chomp logrotate" brought me to its new site. I'll give it a try tomorrow and reply if I like it. I'd still like to hear about software anyone else is using that works for this.

As much as I wince at the suggestion, installing Cygwin is one of the very few options that you have available to you. From there, you can use
logrotate.
