What steps do users take to keep logs down to reasonable sizes? I have seen nothing on this aspect of management and so have been using 'rm' and then creating a new file.
If it is possible, I would like to remove everything older than say seven days on a twice monthly basis after checking there is nothing I would like to archive for possible future reference. I haven't yet found a command to empty a file as opposed to removing it - does one exist? Grateful for any help or pointers. Regards, John.
