Title: Clearing log files in Server Manager
Post by: jncs on November 17, 2007, 01:33:20 AM

Hi folks!

I want to clear my log files (all of them).

How can I do that?

The log files I meant is all the log files that I can see in Server Manager of my SME Server 7.2.

There's no provision for that. You'd need to boot in single user mode, and remove the files, then reboot. But you'd be stupid to do that - the log files are there to help you.

I want that too. Reason? Because mail statistics are not realistic as the result of a virus (which i have remove it now).

Which mail statistics are you looking at?  (I know of 3 ways to get mail statistics - from server-manager, from the 'qpsmtpd/state' log file, or using the 'spamfilterstats' contrib).

You can *probably* clear out all email-related stats using

Code: [Select]

sv stop qpsmtpd
sv stop qmail
rm -f /var/log/qpsmtpd/*
rm -f /var/log/qmail/*
sv start qmail
sv start qpsmtpd
