Yes, FC6 has a default setup for log rotation. Other logs inside the /var/log/ directory are rotating. So, I think it will work now for the Hobbit logs. Maybe your right that the package I used before had set that up for me, and the package that I used for my new Hobbit server did not. Thanks for your help!

So, All i need is to put the script in the /etc/logrotate.d/, is this right? I really don't understand. I checked my old hobbit server and the /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit is already existing. And, I'm sure I didn't configure that before, because I don't know how.
You said you used a different package to install the old server. It probably dropped in the logrotate.d/hobbit config file for you, and the one you used this time didn't.
My point was that you need a cron job (/etc/cron.daily/logrotate), and a logrotate config file (/etc/logrotate.conf) for logrotate to be running and "see" the logrotate.d/hobbit config. I think FC6 does set that up by default (see if you have /var/log/messages.1, etc, if so logrotate is running). Drop the logrotate.d/hobbit file in, and see if it starts rotating. If not, look at the other two files.

So, to sum up, you need /etc/cron.daily/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit all set up to have your hobbit logs rotated. Anything you're not sure of, look at those on the server where the logs are getting rotated now.
