Hello everyone, I have noticed that some of /var/log files such as syslog and lastlog files are getting very large ~ 18-20 MB. Is it ok to just delete them and recreate them?
Also, I notice that, lately, whenever I boot into linux and am about to log in, the processor is extremely active. When I "top", i notice that syslogd is taking up 68% of the CPU. Is this because files like /var/log/syslog file are so huge, or some other reason? TIA
