log rotation in windows cmd.exe

[dwcasey]

Is there a way to script log file rotation in windows2k?

This can be done in Unix quite elegantly, but in Windows, it seems like a kludge, but then again, I am not Windows savvy.

I've come up with something like:

mv file2 file3
mv file1 file2
mv file0 file1
mv file file0

And on and on, but is there a better way?

Also, is there a way to put the date into the file instead of using the numbers?

Thanks.
