Hi,
Is there a simple command to reset / clear everything in my /var/log? I've

just full of bullshit and I'd like a fresh start :-)
Thanks!

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.

Usually not, but it depends on the logging mechanism. If a
