Re: [cobalt-users] Log Clearup

["William J.A. Brillinger" <billy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use this little script, which could easily be modified to zero the files 
instead of deleting them.

#!/bin/bash

# by William Brillinger, March 27, 2003
# clear all logs for each site

for URL in $( find /home/sites -type l -maxdepth 1 | sed -e 
's/\/home\/sites\///g' ); do
        echo --Removing logs for $URL...
        ls -lah /home/sites/$URL/logs
        rm /home/sites/$URL/logs/*
        echo
done

echo Completed


NOTE: this is actually one line:
for URL in $( find /home/sites -type l -maxdepth 1 | sed -e 
's/\/home\/sites\///g' ); do

Cheers,
- Bill
