There is an option in the console log program to clear the files. Better doing it that way than just binning it.

Also, unless you are a total insomniac and your puter is awake all the time try running these terminal commands once in a while...

"periodic daily" tries to run at 3:15am each day.
"periodic weekly" tries to run at 4:30am on Sunday. (I think)
"periodic monthly" tries to run at 5:30am on the 1st of each month.

These scripts do some generic clean up, rotating log files and emptying temporary directories. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am about 95% confident that if your system is not on at these times then the scripts will not run when you next wake up your system.

Oh, almost forgot - these need to be run as root.

OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available!
