    I need to add the line:

    Code:
    -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

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