RE: [hlds_linux] Logfile Management and Stats
I have a cron job that runs daily and deletes logfiles older than x days. I'm not a commercial game server, so logs are not that critical to me. 2 weeks is plenty.

Re: [hlds_linux] logfile management
they should compress much better than that. I compress about 80mb of logs into <10mb.

Very bad things will happen to you if you do.

find /usr/hlds_l/tfc/logs -name "*.log" -ctime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;
Stick that in your cron and run it once a day.
