When you run amflush it will ask which directories/dates you wish to flush. After you have done the one(s) you want, I think it is safe to blow away the ones you don't want. The logs will rotate and be deleted on their own. Or archive them; or if space on holding disk is not a problem, leave them for later. After doing the above I'd also suggest running amcleanup. jl -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
