Windows Event Viewer

Is there an event generated when the logs in the event viewer are rotated ?  As of now the logs rotate when the maximum size limit is reached.Is it possible to force rotate the logs at a specified time ?

Re: Windows Event Viewer

I do not believe an indication is left in the logs.  What I have heard of some people doing is write a VB script that deletes the log files, then inserts a message into the eventlog stack indicating that the logs have been rotated.  Then, the script is called whatever interval is needed.
