Help adding a crontab

[partsace]

I need to add the line:

-rf /etc/httpd/domlogs/*ssl_data_log

to a crontab so that it will clear once a month. The SSL data logs are killing SSL on my server. I am not new to having a server, but I am new to crontab.

Thanks,

Scott

As root, type 'contrab -e' and add the command to the file:

0 0 1 * * rm -rf /etc/httpd/domlogs/*ssl_data_log

This will clear the files the first day of every month

How to I save it and exit "crontab -e"? I have tried everything.

Use ESC then press shift and ":" and then hit wq enter
The cron is ready to run as scheduled
