Re: {bb} BBOUT.OLD size

[Ben Pitzer <bpitzer@gmail.com>]

Are you restarting BB after you rotated BBOUT?  BBOUT should grow, but
BBOUT.OLD should not, to my knowledge, unless you have something set
up strangely.  If you're not restarting BB, it might continue writing
to the same file, however, following the file handle, rather than
writing to the new BBOUT file.

This reminds me to ask, however, why is there no log rotation facility
built into BB?  What do most of you do for rotating BBOUT and LARRDOUT
files?

Regard,
Ben Pitzer
