Hi, thanks for the link but isn't there a way to just clear the log with a simple command or something from SSH (I have root access)?

I just hate to install a whole new script just to clear the log as my server resources are already taxed as it is.

I recommend determining what is causing the error log to fill up so that clearing the log doesn't become part of your regular server maintenance. Such an investigation may assist with secondary issues you may not be currently aware of.

As you mentioned you are having error logs problem on your server.In that case I would like to recommend you please check the error logs and found out the exact error message which causing the such heavy error logs problem and correct the files which consuming error logs in daily basis so that there is no need to empty error logs file.

Or atleast, make a tarball of the recent logs before just emptying it !
