Unix system uses logrotate to do the log rotation of the system log files, which will have the entry for each programs in the directory.,
Code:
/etc/logrotate.d

So my suggestion is locate the file that is related to your process, and then edit it as daily to hourly... ( for example: i did for dkpg.log )
Code:
/var/log/dpkg.log {
        daily
        rotate 12
        compress
        delaycompress
        missingok
        notifempty
        create 640 root adm
}

as

Code:
/var/log/dpkg.log {
        hourly
        rotate 12
        compress
        delaycompress
        missingok
        notifempty
        create 640 root adm
}


I hope it helps.....

What I want is to maintain the daily logrotation but also run te hourly for the logs that fillup fast.

Thank lots.
