Add support for deleting old logs

[isaoa]

Hi ezegomez,
Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm not sure the suggested change would solve my problem.
If I understand correctly, your change would append to existing log after restart.
We need to keep ability to limit the total size of the log, let's say to 10MB.

1. start program. it sets max_log_size to 10MB.
2. program writes to myapp.log.
3. program restarts
4. program appends to myapp.log
   what would happen once it reaches the size limit of 10MB?

would it keep writing past 10MB or delete myapp.log and recreates the same file?

Either way, it won't work for us, as we want to limit the amount of logs and at the same time don't want to lose all logs when log rotates.

I have the same problem, can't use linux logrotate to delete old log files.

See also #19 for a possible solution that enables logrotate support (I still need to update it to the latest master though)
