1. Generate logrotate config file for sysklogd. You can ask sysklogd what files it is currently logging to, and use that as input for the logrotate config file.
   This ugly one liner will do the trick:

   Code Block
   echo -e "`printf \\"\"%s\\" \" \`syslogd-listfiles -a\`` {\n\tpostrotate\nsharedscriptsn\tsharedscripts\n\t\t/etc/init.d/sysklogd reload > /dev/null\n\tendscript\n}\n" > /etc/logrotate.d/sysklogd

   Change according to your needs - defaults are in /etc/logrotate.conf - see man logrotate. Very useful option is dateext.
2. Remove old sysklogd cron entries:

   Code Block
   rm /etc/cron.*/sysklogd
