I'm trying to write a script to weekly remove MySQL logs, the general, error and binary log files.

Following the MySQL documentation, I've written a script that moves all current log files, then executes mysqladmin flush-logs.

My question is this on the binary logs (bin.001, bin.002, etc.): once these are removed and flush logs is executed, the binary log files start over with bin.001.

HOWEVER, the binary index file does not appear affected by the flush-logs command; ie, if I'm up to bin.003 in the binary.index file, remove the files and execute the flush logs command, I'm back to a file names bin.001, although the binary.index file still has entries for bin.001, bin.002, bin.003, etc. How does the binary index file stay current when you remove the logs??
