Subject: [cobalt-users] Log Files


Does anyone have a proven method of deleting log files, and resetting web
stats??? i.e. a CGI Script that works would be something ! I am supprised
that Cobalt haven't looked at this and developed a script that could be
executed via server admin GUI ..

We have a few customers sites with log files getting to become quite large
,,hmmmm very very large. Any help would be appreciated.

***REP SEP***

The log file on my little Qube2 was running close to about 20Mb, so I FTP'd
the httpd log files over to a workstation as a backup, deleted the files
that were on the server, and then did a reboot....  Oh, and following on
from the reboot, I reset the damned date and time again... Why Oh why isn't
the Q2 fitted with a non-volatile RTC?

After doing the above, the stats returned to zero, and all was
fine...Although like you, I'd prefer a prettier web interface thingy to do
it...  a lot of messing around for the no so Linux aware....
