Thanks for the links.
However, I had to put in log rotation into my script, as I couldn't find something to do it for me. Basically, my code does the appropriate moving of files, then does "audit shutdown" and "audit start". Not pretty, but it works. Oh well. ;|
Thanks again dude. Have a good weekend.
