Am I right in saying that logrotate is already doing this or does it need to be set up/edited?
for the *default* files which you can see listed in the /etc/logrotate.d/ directory.
If I browse /, I see there is a /etc/logrotated directory with various files in it, are these the only logs that are logrotated and can other files be placed in the directory by me, in the right format, and also get logrotated?
yes, yes, yes
Is there a SuSE HOWTO on setting up logrotate files or is it done by the system from time to time.
man logrotate
What do all the entries in each section mean ie if i wanted to change how often it does it, is there a number I can change?
man logrotate This script has one of the better man files. It is specific and very descriptive and offers examples. Look thru the entries in the /etc/logrotate.d/ directory and read the man file. You will quickly find what you need to extend this service. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711
