Dan,
The following script may be useful, via CRON
--
/mnt/kd/bin/truncate-lines 2000 /var/log/lighttpd/ssl-access.log
--
should do the trick.
File: /mnt/kd/bin/truncate-lines
--
#!/bin/sh
## truncate a file, in-place, keeping the last keep_lines lines
##
## Usage: truncate-lines keep_lines filename
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "Usage: truncate-lines keep_lines filename" >&2
exit 1
fi
keep_lines="$1"
filename="$2"
if [ ! -f "$filename" ]; then
echo "truncate-lines: Can't open file: $filename" >&2
exit 1
fi
lines="$(wc -l "$filename" | awk '{ print $1; }')"
if [ $lines -gt $keep_lines ]; then
del_lines=$(($lines - $keep_lines))
sed -i "1,$del_lines d" "$filename"
fi
