Buld echo
I have 35 log files that I want to flush once a day. In order to keep them exist I now do an 'echo logfile.log' How can I do such in one command having the same effect on all log files?

You could have a look at newsyslog: it would purge and recreate the files for you, including the right ownership and mode, plus it ciould keep compressed back logs, and notify some process of your choice.
