What about running a script like this daily (or weekly, or whatever) :

#!/bin/sh
/opt/bb/runbb.sh stop
# Wait a little : sometimes BB child processes still run after a stop
# 5 secs is maybe not enough. Just try...
sleep 5
[ something for rotating BBOUT]
/opt/bb/runbb.sh start

[something] could be savelog, logrotate or any script of this kind.

About this : I think it would be nice to have the BBOUT file
*outside* BBHOME. I would vote for a configuration directive
allowing to set something like BBOUT=/var/log/bb.log (or wherever
else your religion tells you to put log files).
