File Size for SQL Server 2005 Error Log

Hello,
My SQL Server 2005 error log is getting very, very large... Like 4 GB in 4
days... How can I recycle my error log so that it doesnt' overrun my c:
drive. Also, if there's a way to move the error log from the c: drive to
another drive, that would also help.
Thanks.

You will want to execute sp_cycle_errorlog periodically. I would
suggest scheduling a job that runs it as well.

Ok, that sounds great, but I have no idea how to do that... Do you have a
website or documentation to do that?
Thanks.
