No longer worry about growing logfiles or rotating everything properly, use autorotate!

1. mkdir /var/log/autorotate

2. # /etc/logrotate.d/autorotate
   /var/log/autorotate/*.log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 2
    compress
    notifempty
    copytruncate
    create 0666 deploy users
   }
   

3. whatever_you_want >> /var/log/autorotate/someting_new.log
   It will be rotated automatically
