Re: [Summary-Talk] Rolling summary.log

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To roll Summary's summary.log file you rename or delete it, then quit 
Summary, wait a few seconds, and launch Summary again. cron, or 
logrotate, or any of several similar utilities, or a shell script can be 
configured to do this for you with just a little work.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
