You can also (on AIX anyway) use this command to start your server:

/usr/lpp/adsmserv/bin/dsmserv 2>&1 | /usr/lpp/adsmserv/bin/dsmulog logfile1
logfile2 logfile3 logfile4 logfile5 logfile6 ...

ADSM will move from one to the other automatically at midnight.  I have this
command in a script and the first thing I do is copy the files into another
directory because it will start with the first file in the list every time
ADSM is started and I didn't want to lose my backups.

I found this method in the Administrators Guide.
