Hello everyone,
I am using FreeBSD 4.6 and have a problem with the log files increasing
rapidly!
The directory /var/log has a bunch of log files in, like:
messages.0
messages.1
messages.2
cron.0.gz
maillog.5.gz
messages.5.gz
xferlog
...

As these files get bigger and the numbers increase, the var partition gets
full and as a result some applications stop responding.

Is there a way to automatically remove these old log files?

Thanks
