How to flush log files in /var

[populusnigra]

Hi there,

How can I flush log files located in /var partition and don't break anything?. What I have is a Web server running Red Hat 5 and /var is getting too big (53% of 500 MB). Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi manojsmatani,

OK, thanks for the advice. The logrotate tool seems quite interesting, I'll check out if it suits my needs. Thanks again

I use Ubuntu clone.See if a program called bleachbit is in your repository.It does a good job for me.Other ways to do it but bleachbit is easy.

Hi synjyn,

OK, I heard a lot about this program some time ago but I think I'll give it a try. I hope it performs well on servers 'cause personally I use Ubuntu clones too at work and don't mind testing bleachbit on them.
Thanks a lot for the advice
