Expiring old active record sessions, & rotating production.log?

I guess these are the two final housekeeping things i need to sort out for my app.

How are you guys approaching these two tasks? (i'm using activerecord session storage)

cheers!

For expiring old active record sessions, you need to execute 
CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.delete_all ["updated_at < ?", 2.weeks.ago.to_s(:db)]
So in crontab 
23 3 */14 * * /usr/local/bin/ruby /home/usrname/path/to/script/runner -e production "CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.delete_all [\"updated_at < ?\", 2.weeks.ago.to_s(:db)]"
for rotating logs add the following to your environment.rb to keep, for example, 100 logfiles of 1MB each.

config.logger = Logger.new("#{RAILS_ROOT}/log/#{ENV['RAILS_ENV']}.log", 100, 1048576)

Thanks William. I added these instructions and they seem to be working as expected :)
