• For Linux: rotatelogs in Linux can be tried by updating proxyserver.sh  (under CA/secure-proxy/proxy-engine)
              below for non-Empty nohups for 60 seconds, instead of one with OOTB:

 $NOHUP_JAVACMD $JVM_MEM_OPTS $JVM_PERF_OPTS $SPS_TOMCAT_OPTS -DNETE_WA_ROOT=$NETE_WA_ROOT -DPWD=$PWD -classpath $CLASSPATH com.netegrity.proxy.ProxyBootstrap -config $CONFIGFILE  2>&1 | rotatelogs -l -n 10 $OUTPUT_FILE 60 & echo $! > $SPS_PID_FILE

• For Windows: any alternative to rotatelogs in windows (cygwin,powershell etc..) can be tried.

HOWEVER, both the above(rotatelogs in linux and any alternative on windows) are NOT SUPPORTED alternatives
