[Sunhelp] Checking var.

[Derek Piper]

	Is this for Solaris? ... If it were Linux I'd suggest tweaking the
/etc/logrotate.conf and the appropriate script in /etc/logrotate.d and
adding 'compress' in there so your logs are compressed as well as being
rotated weekly or so. You could also lower the number of weeks you want
to keep logs for too.
	Does Solaris have something similar? (if not, why not? :)) .. I
know it certainly helps to keep things in line and is automatic after
being setup/checked and therefore painless.
