Hi Til,
whats the sense of the logging in var/log/xml/time/....?
That fills gigabyte over the time. Can that be turned off?
I use the following shell script fragment to move logs that are older
than x days to an archive. If you call this daily with a different
name you will get a nice archive of tar.gz files that contain the
logs for the moment you need them.
Use at your own risk, of course.
cheers
Martin
