# make sure logrotate is executed daily /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
# check status with... cat /var/lib/logrotate/status
# execute logrotate...logrotate -df /etc/logrotate.d/btsLogrotate

# daily - monitor interval of bts.log
# rotate 12 - 12 days of log will be kept
# size 50M - max size, takes precedence over interval
# compress - gzip file
# delaycompress - last file not compressed
# missingok - avoids halting on error and goes to next log file
# notifempty - no log rotation if empty
# create new empty log file with <mode> <owner> <group> spec
