yes and no.
If we asume that the format wasn't changed by the user. Then still we can't
just delete the file that is (for example) 31 days old, but we also have to
check If the one that is 32/33/… days old is still in the directory and
delete it too.

compares to the setting for log file. Naming of the log files is handled by
SA so deleting of such log files should be relatively simple based on the
setting for log rotation, directory, name, etc.

still that means check all files within the directory, if you don't have to
have files "older then…"

Perhaps log files should be stored in a separate folder, and then any files
older than x in that folder would be deleted? Crude but effective...
Any idea how MS do it?

I would like the option as well. I could write a command line script to do it
but SAlive is so smart that it would be nice to have the OPTION to remove
log files.

I should of course have used the word "option" - I'd agree that by default
software shouldn't delete its own logs, but to have this as an option
(especially where the software is generating logfiles of 30Mb plus!) would be
really useful.

To be fair though M$ do (Event logs, Exchange logs etc.), I can understand
wanting the choice. If every piece of software retained its logs forever I
would end up simply having sceduled tasks to clean them up as I run a strict
backup regime so I have copies anyhow.
It wouldn't need to be a d
Personally I have a problem with that.
I don't think that a software should delete its own log files.

Would it be possible to limit (in the same way that you can in MS ISA server)
the number of log files that exist? i.e. if set to daily log files and a max of
30, SA would delete any log files over a month old.

ESX is linux based, it is a proprietary flavour designed by vmware
themselves in which is a non locking filesystem and is geared toward the
storage of extremely large files.
Vmware Server is Linux and Windows based (We run vm's mostly on Ubuntu
Server hosts haven't bothered with the GUI) and you a
I thought that ESX was Linux based while the VMWare server was Windows based.
So I guess that the tools are different.
Also the big question is then can they be executed/started from a remot esystem.
For a Linux based system we can use an SSH connection to execute the command and
check the return,
We use the cheap and cheerful Vmware Server Edition ;0)
It would be useful to have alerts for the state of Virtual Machines,
Vmware has many programs that can be run on the command line, if my
understanding is correct Vmware console is mostly a wrapper for these
utilities. I believe that ESX has
About to embark on a major virtualisation project. Solution not definite at the
moment, but most likely to be VMWare (considering MS and Virtuozzo too).
