Need script to rotate logs
I have few solaris-10 non global zones, where one application is writing some logs to /var/ovd/ConfigLogs. It keeps increasing all the time, as it is needed by application team as of now. I want a small script, which I can configure in cronjob, which should :
- Run every Saturday 10 PM
- Copy /var/ovd/ConfigLogs to /var/ovd/ConfigLogs.1
- Nullyfy /var/ovd/ConfigLogs
- bzip /var/ovd/ConfigLogs.1
- Next Saturday (Second cronjob), it should repeat, but should ot overwrite /var/ovd/ConfigLogs.1.bz
I am still trying to understand if logadm can help me in this. Can somebody help me for this script to put in cronjob ?

They are located here: /srv/www/+vHost name here+/logs/
Configuration seems to be here:

modload
MODLOAD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MODLOAD(8)
NAME
modload -- load a kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modload [-fP] [-b var=boolean] [-i var=integer] [-s var=string] module
modload -p [-b var=boolean] [-d var] [-i var=integer] [-m plist] [-s var=string]
DESCRIPTION
The modload utility loads a kernel module specified by the module parameter into the running system.
Modules are loaded from the default system module areas unless the module parameter contains a path separator character ('/').
The options to modload are as follows:
-b var=boolean Pass the module a boolean property with the name var. boolean may be either true or false.
-d var When used in conjuction with -m, delete var from the plist specified.
-f When a module is loaded, the kernel checks if the module is compatible with the running kernel and will refuse to load mod-
ules that are potentially incompatible. This option disables compatibility checks. Note: an incompatible module can cause
system instability, including data loss or corruption.
This option is also required for re-enabling a builtin module that was disabled using modunload(8).
-i var=integer Pass the module an integer property with the name var and integral value integer.
-m plist When used in conjuction with -p, merge new options with an existing property list contained in plist.
-P This option tells the kernel not to load an associated property list.
-p Output a property list suitable for loading along with a module. When using this option, you do not need to specify a mod-
ule. Use -m and -d to read and modify an existing property list.
-s var=string Pass the module a string property with the name var and string value string.
DIAGNOSTICS
The modload utility exits with a status of 0 on success and with a nonzero status if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
module(7), modstat(8), modunload(8)
HISTORY
The modload command was designed to be similar in functionality to the corresponding command in SunOS 4.1.3.
