Well, one reason might be that the client doesn't want/like the
"out of the soap box" stuff the Cobalt gives them.

My clients are more impressed with weblog than the standard Sun/Cobalt
Issued detergent.  It only needs to read the web.log

Of course, the RaQ makes use of some of the log files for the warning
system on over the quota limits.

So. my question is more along the lines of:
If I want to read only web.log
and ??? files for the active monitor
what files could I delete, per site, via cron?

I'm not sure how often active monitor runs.

The other alternative, form my perspective, is that I'd like a way to
save the client space if they aren't using the Cobalt stats.

I'm trying to answer a client right now who wonders why with 5 megs in
web space used, and no mail piling up, why the logs are taking up 12
megs.

I tried telling her it was "The Cobalt Way", but she replied:
"Little Grasshopper, I pay large dollars to get semantic obfuscation from
my therapist, I don't expect it from my provider."

Since she sends in her check every month, it never bounces, she doesn't
spam nor ask too many questions, I though it might be nice to give her
an answer that neither was cloudy not required her to wash her laundry as
part of the discovery process.
