Can you be a bit more precise about that? There are the WAL log files; I expect you're not talking about that. I expect you're talking about the log files containing error messages, warnings, and such. PostgreSQL will not, itself, purge out such files; consider that you can configure it to distribute log information via syslog, which would push the logs into a mostly OS-managed area. You'll presumably want to figure out what YOU want your policy to be, and find suitable tools (lots available) to implement that policy... -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "ofni.secnanifxunil" "@" "enworbbc")) http://linuxfinances.info/info/linuxxian.html "We should start referring to processes which run in the background by their correct technical name:... paenguins." -- Kevin M Bealer ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
