-.SH NAME
-exicyclog \- Cycle exim's logfiles
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B eximcyclog
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B exicyclog
-script can be used to cycle (rotate)
-.I mainlog
-and
-.I rejectlog
-files.
-This is not necessary if only syslog is being used.
-Some operating systems have their own standard mechanisms for log cycling,
-and these can be used instead of
-.B exicyclog
-if preferred.
-
-Each time
-.B exicyclog
-is run the file names get \(oqshuffled down\(cq by one.
-If the main log file name is mainlog (the default) then when
-.B exicyclog
-is run mainlog becomes mainlog.01, the previous mainlog.01 becomes mainlog.02
-and so on, up to a limit which is set in the script, and which defaults to 10.
-Reject logs are handled similarly.
-
-If no mainlog file exists, the script does nothing.
-Files that \(oqdrop off\(cq the end are deleted.
-All files with numbers greater than 01 are compressed, using a compression
-command which is configured by the COMPRESS_COMMAND setting in
-Local/Makefile.
-It is usual to run \(lqexicyclog\(rq daily from a root \(lqcrontab\(rq entry
-of the form
-
- 1 0 * * * su exim \-c /usr/exim/bin/exicyclog
-
-assuming you have used the name \(oqexim\(cq for the Exim user.
-You can run
-.B exicyclog
-as root if you wish, but there is no need.

-.SH BUGS
-This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff
-than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
-would be greatly appreciated.
