Clearing Log Files Using vnukelog
Use the vnukelog command to clear your Virtual Server
log files. The vnukelog command can be used to clear the
~/usr/log/messages file as well as all Virtual Server and
Virtual Subhost
log files.
|
NOTE:
The vnukelog command now incorporates the
functionality of vnl command
documented in previous versions of the Virtual Server Handbook.
The vnl command and
vnukelog2 command should no longer be used.

Use the -h flag to see all vnukelog options:
% vnukelog -i
Usage: vnukelog [-h] [-i] [-r]
-h display this message
-i enter interactive mode
-r nuke root server logs only
Use no options to nuke all log files on the virtual server.
Use the vnukelog command without any flags to clear the
~/usr/log/messages file and ALL Virtual Server and Virtual
Subhost log files:
% vnukelog
Use the -r flag to clear just the Virtual Server log files,
and leave the Virtual Subhost log files intact:
% vnukelog -r
Use the -i flag to enter an interactive mode that allows you
to clear just the Virtual Server and Virtual Subhost log files you want to
clear.
% vnukelog -i
Regularly Clearing Your Log Files Using Cron
You can easily use the
Cron Program Scheduler
feature to schedule vnukelog to regularly nuke your
Virtual Server log files. Add something like this to your
crontab:
0 1 1 1-12/3 * /usr/local/bin/vnukelog
This will run the command /usr/local/bin/vnukelog (which clears all
of your Virtual Server log files) at 1 AM on the first day of the first month of
every quarter, or January, April, July, and October (1-12/3).
