Logrotate - daily log files for a month

Hello,

Using Fedora 7, I am trying to see how we can rotate some log files each
day, but keep a month's worth of files.

Logrotate can rotate the files daily, and I can specify something like:

   daily
   start 1
   rotate 30

But this does not account for month's of 31 days, or February with 28/29
days. Likewise if I set 'rotate 31' then this is not going to work on
those months of just 30 days.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?


Thanks,

John.
