This is GNU Rot[t]Log
archive, rotates, compresses, and mails system logs.

This is a replacement to Red Hat's logrotate. It have similar syntax,
but more powerful features to cut and store logs.

This project is born to create an alternative utility to logrotate. It's
all written in BASH v2.x compatible, and it uses all standars utilities
found in all unices like awk, sed, cat, cut, tail and more.

It has been make to acheive very complex logging policies like archiving
or rotating logs in a box managing many apache's virtual host. It has
been developed with help of many system administrators around the world,
needing many features missing in logrotate used in many distributions
like Debian, SuSE, Red Hat (Fedora), and Slackware.
