[ARGUS] log file roll-over

[Peter Van Epp]

	Assuming you are rolling with argusarchive all you can currently do is
reduce the time between log rolls by changing the interval that it runs in 
cron. It is a shell script so if you write something (a perl script?) that
stats the argus.out file and renames it when it gets to a certain size that
will do what you want (or someone may have already done it on the list here),
but argusarchive won't as it stands. As I recall Eric told me he was rolling
his logs every 10 minutes to keep the log volume reasonable (I'm rolling once
an hour without problem so far).
