If its just the size of the file that's a problem can you possibly just quota the log file's size?<br><br><a href="http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-manage-log-file-size-archive-deletion.html">Manage Log File size on Ubuntu</a> is one writeup which gives a lot of detail on how to use LogRotate.<br>
<br>I think this is the <a href="http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html">Man page for LogRotate</a>.<br><br>If you are just trying to figure out how to reduce the number of messages the above won't help.<br>
