[JENKINS-3860] some kind of log rotation service built into the service wrapper.

Also, what happen if i have a job to rename the log file (backup into

filename with date), will that crash or have bad effects on hudson server?

I believe Hudson keeps this file open all the time, so you won't be able to

rename it.

If I run Hudson as windows service, are you saying that hudson.out.log is

created by windows? How can i manage the growing log file?

I guess we need some kind of log rotation service built into the service

wrapper. Can you file an issue so that we can get to it after JavaOne?
