Java Audit.log Management

Hi,

I'm fairly new to administering RedHat (or any Linux system for that matter), and was wondering if someone could help me work out how to best manage audit logs.

In a nutshell, this is what I need to do:

- Compress audit.log file(s) once a month and delete the originals
- The compressed file should include the server name and date
- I need to get the compressed files from the RHEL server to a Windows UNC share

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
