Capture output of program to file with limited filesize
I'm working on a script that will perform a backup, save a log of said backup and send the output to me in an email. Everything is working fine so far except that I can't figure out how to specify a maximum file size for the log file. I don't want a runaway log file jamming up the server. Currently, the command I'm using to perform the backup and capture output is:

Code:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --eahfs $SOURCE_DIR $DEST_DIR &> $LOG_FILE

* "--eahfs" specifies support for HFS+ forks. This is running on OS X server 10.3

I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!
