If you’re using Awstats to analyse server logs then the originals can be removed once they’ve been processed. The bash script below removes all of the files found in /var/log/apache2. Running this as a daily cron job ensures that your server doesn’t become bloated.
#!/bin/bash cd /var/log/apache2 for file in `find .` do if [ -f $file ]; then cat /dev/null > $file fi done
