Limiting size of client.txt when running in service-mode

Hello all,

Is there a way to limit the size of the Client.txt file in OpenVPN\Logs? I'd like to run OpenVPN as a service, but this file seems to grow quite fast even with the 'mute' switch active.
I am running OpenVPN on windows and mac OSX.

Thanks,
-John

This is called log file rotating.
Just by knowing that it should be easy to find a few ways to do it on each OS.
Here is one for windows: http://www.datori.org/?p=7
and osX: http://www.worldsworstsoftware.com/osxrotatelogs.html

Hope that helps
