Cleaning Apache log files (newsbie question)

For all at once? By clean you mean....... trim?
I would trim all of them down to something between 5 and 10 thousand lines all in one shot, with a shell script that simply opens each, copies output to /tmp or something, and then back to /usr/local/apache/domlogs...........

Is this the type of thing you mean? If so I could help further with specifics....

You'd be restarting apache afterwards of course.

 

Remove everything in /usr/local/apache/domlogs

And then
killall -9 httpd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd startssl &


This will remove ALL the domlogs for any domain hosted on that server..... statistical data will be lost at the next time a customer runs their webalizer or analog stats. (They'll be overwritten by the output of crunching the new, cleansed logs)

just FYI
