Cleaning system log regularly

[chetannagaonkar]

Hello,

I hadn't paid much attention towards syslog getting updated. I think that it does get flushed automatically. If not, can anyone suggest how to flush the system log regularly in Linux/Unix environment pls?

Thanks.
Best Regards

Take a look at logrotate.
