Hello,
You could take a look at :
/etc/logrotate.conf
and
/etc/logrotate.d/postgresql-common
My advice will be to copy (as root) postgresql-common file like :
cp /etc/logrotate.d/postgresql-common /etc/logrotate.d/openerp
then edit the "/etc/logrotate.d/openerp" file (vi or other editor)
and change the file name on the first line (replace "/var/log/postgresql/*.log" by "/var/log/openerp-server.log")
After this, depending the size of the openerp-server.log file, you could change from weekly to da

I would not worry about the log size for OpenERP, it is really small compared to other stuff running in your linux server. Now, if you really worry about your log size, do this:

rotate your logs. Chances are logrotate is being run daily in your Ubuntu box ( http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/logrotate.8.html [1] )
you can manually delete the older log files, or do it automatically with a Python or bash script. You can also move the older log files to a different server
Hope this he
