Question fetchmail - log file size limitation

Hi,

I am using fetchmail in my application so as to download mails to the localhost where the application is hosted from the mailserver.Fetchmail is configured as as to run as a daemon polling mails during an interval of 1sec.

So my concern here is, during each 2sec it is writing two lines to fetchmail.log - the associated log file

So in longer run, the size of the log file will grow big which may create a space issue in the linux server since it is in shared environment.

I tried using some split,tail commands to limit the lines,but if i apply those logics,fetchmail stops writing to that log file, means interruption is not effective.

Can anyone please help me to sort this out ?

Regards
Dileep
