In Apache's log4php LoggerAppenderDailyFile appender, is it possible to limit the number of backup files kept?
Like what is done with the LoggerAppenderRollingFile appender's maxBackupIndex parameter.
See: https://logging.apache.org/log4php/docs/appenders/daily-file.html
No configuration available by default from Log4j.
https://logging.apache.org/log4php/docs/appenders/daily-file.html shows the configuration maxBackupIndex is not available for LoggerAppenderDailyFile unlike LoggerAppenderRollingFile (https://logging.apache.org/log4php/docs/appenders/rolling-file.html)
One hack is to create a crontab entry to do the same see this link http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/delete-files-older-than-x-days-on-linux/
