        that's what logrotate is for. :) I wish I could cut out the crufty
e-mail messages; but most of them are one-liners from swatch, telling me
that such-and-such interface on a given switch in our server room just
bounced; or there was an FTP connection refused from some foreign country. 
        I also have to look at the tripwire logs, and the logwatch reports
(which I usually just discard, as they're worse than useless). so I may get
400 pieces of mail a day; but half that is stuff I sort through really fast
with the 'd' key. :)

keeping track of your life with your inbox, is probably not the thing for
everyone. it usually works reasonably well for me tho.

Carl.
