Delete cPanel Log files

[easyswiss]

I must delete this large (1GB+) logfiles:

/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
/usr/local/apache/logs/access_log
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/spamd_error_log
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpwrapd_log
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpdavd_session_log
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/tailwatchd_log

Results with:

[email protected] [~]# rm /usr/local/cpanel/logs/spamd_error_log
rm: remove regular file `/usr/local/cpanel/logs/spamd_error_log'? y
rm: cannot remove `/usr/local/cpanel/logs/spamd_error_log': Operation not permitted
[email protected] [~]# whoami
root

How to?

Does not work:

[/usr/local/cpanel/logs]# cat /dev/null > spamd_error_log
-bash: spamd_error_log: Operation not permitted

Ok, found a way.
spamd looks to be not added per default for log rotation.

Hello,

You can select "spamd_error_log" for rotation via "WHM >> Service Configuration >> cPanel Log Rotation Configuration". It will then rotate during the next cpanellogd run according to the value configured for "Log Rotation Size Threshold" in "WHM >> Tweak Settings".

Thank you.

If you want to empty it quickly do this:

chattr -a spamd_error_log
> spamd_error_log

You can change it back with +a if you want.
