Adding a rolling logger for the PMWoGen cron task
You can limit the size and number of log files that are saved for the PMWoGen cron task. You add a cron task logger that rolls over to a new log file when the current log reaches a specified size. Older versions are deleted after a specified number of instances. The log level can be less granular than the level that is specified for the parent cron task logger.
