huge logs

Hello.
the logs is growing up. should i use logrotate?
seems like soon logfiles can be about 2Gb

Yes, you should use logrotate or another log management system

Here is my logrotate config

/home/krbpooluser/krbpool/logs/*.log {  
	yearly  
	missingok  
	rotate 180  
	compress  
	delaycompress
	notifempty
	copytruncate
	su krbpooluser
}

and what i get for all logs files, example for 1 file (pool_info.log)
When running 1st time i get

pool_info.log
pool_info.log.1

all as expected, pool_info.log size is 0
then running 2nd time

pool_info.log  
pool_info.log.1  
pool_info.log.2.gz

ang pool_info.log is equal as before 1st run, containing data from the last year
