Re: Simple command to reset / clear all logs?
Hello, It might be all right to remove all normal file logs, though you may want to retain all subdirectories. find /var/log -type f -exec rm {} \; may do. # sorry. I wouldn't do that rough and not tested. # Basically, those are just incremental logs, whose # lines are mostly not referred by running system.

I've done a lot of testing, configuring, trial and error and most of my logs are just full of bullshit and I'd like a fresh start :-) Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
