syslog resetting? how to archive or email syslog? [SOLVED]

My syslog has been resetting (cleared) at seemingly random intervals (a few days or up to 48 days of uptime).  I know the server hasn't actually rebooted since the uptime is reporting accurately and I have some services that need to be manually started if I reboot.  I don't see anything in the syslog except:

Jan  5 04:40:01 Tower syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

 

I'm running 5.0-rc5 with 8GB ECC (with tons of free memory).  I guess I'm worried there could be a corruption in RAM - but wouldn't I have other stability issues?  The server is rock solid otherwise (basically only runs Crashplan, Air Server, general media server).

 

Is there a way to automatically write out the syslog periodically to disk (maybe cache drive)?  Or can I have it email the syslog periodically? 

 

Thanks in advance

    It is by design.  The current syslog is copied to syslog.1 when it gets over a certain size.  (1Meg)

     

    Rules are defined in

    /etc/logrotate.conf
