1. In csh/tcsh you have the 'limit' command, in sh/ksh you have the 'ulimit'
command.
2. Use AdvFS fetures. Create a file set for the file you want limited.
Set the 'file-set' quota to the maximum size you want the file to reach. Move
the file from the original partition or file set to this new file set. Create
a soft (symbolic?) link from the original home of the file to the new file, or
if the file is in a directory by itself, simply mount the file set at the proper
location in your File system.
3. If you want to cut it back, you could have a job that runs every so
often that does something like ...
find /var/adm -name BIGLOGFILE -size +2000k \
-exec cat /dev/null > /var/adm/BIGLOGFILE \;
