[cobalt-users] delete /var/cobalt/log files

["agility" <webmgr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I posted a question similar to this a while back 
but didn't get much of any input so, here goes again.

My var is filling up again, but it seems the files
causing the problem are in the /var/cobalt directory.

Does anyone know if it's ok to zero out all of these log files
in /var/cobalt/ ? I have them backed up, so it's just a case
of freeing up space.
I would write a script to zero the files leaving them and
their permission intact.

So, whatcha think?

Here's the file list..... note that groupspace.log is over 80MBytes!
The total log space here is over 163 MBytes!! 
Have you ever looked at the groupspace.log file, WOW!
(that's a lot of valuable realestate on a little RAQ2 )
