Which is easier? For you to create a script to delete all old logfiles in here, or for someone who needs them to write a script to recover them after your proposed method deletes them? Alternatively, you could have a cron job that gzips them, reducing the size by around 90%. > Due to the wanna know how long does it take ... > ``ls'' is your friend. genlop doesn't even need per-package logging to $PORT_LOGDIR, and it saves on the mental arithmetic. Personally, I prefer to let the computer do the work whenever possible. It's why I bought it. -- Neil Bothwick "Bother," said Pooh, as he was given another bad script.
