It's hardly best practise, but we have a small script that gets run @nightly.
NEW_LOGFILE=log/production.log.`date +%Y%m%d`
cd RAILS_ROOT
cp log/production.log $NEW_LOGFILE
cat /dev/null > log/production.log
/usr/bin/pl_analyze log/production.log.`date +%Y%m%d` -e mich...@koziarski.com
gzip $NEW_LOGFILE
An easier option (if you can) is using the robot-coops sysloglogger,
which means you can use all the standard syslog configuration options
for log rotation
