Hi Lonnie, CRON. Of course! That's a perfect solution.
And I'll rest easier knowing that I'm not killing my flash memory. Thanks for the suggestions and the prompt reply.

Would a nightly removal of "/var/log/lighttpd/ssl-access.log" via CRON do the trick? Maybe back off the query interval to 30 or 40 seconds? I suspect there is a way to disable SSL logging in lighttpd, but I can't find it at the moment. I'd try to manage the log file via cron to < 1MB.
