    Shink Log Files and if it occurs frequently then automate Shrink file on Daily/weekly/Monthly depending on growth of log file size.

    No, no, no! That is terrible advice.

    If the lg file is growing there's a reason. The solution is to identify the cause and resolve. The log file should never be automatically shrunk (neither should the data files)
