[Skytools-users] Proper way to rotate logs for replay and ticker daemons?

[Eric Bjorndahl]

Thanks, looks like it is working properly. Just checked the log files and it
seems the default log_size value is 10MB.

logs based on size.  You can use config values log_count and log_size
to tune it.

Seems they are undocumented...
