Log Archiving Menu
The Log Archiving Menu is used to archive log files when the file reaches a specific size or
age. When log rotation occurs, the current log file is set aside or e-mailed to a specified address
and a new log file is begun.
If the rotate size is set above 0, then log rotation occurs when the log surpasses the rotate size,
or when the log rotation interval is reached, whichever occurs first. If the rotate size is set to 0,
the file size is ignored and only the rotate interval is used. If an e-mail address and SMTP
Server IP address are set, then the log file is e-mailed when rotated.
