But the thing is i have virtual domains currently 20 and will increase to 100 in the next month .... i would have to manually edit the logrotate.conf file ( /etc/logrotate.conf ) which wd be a lot time consuming for say 100 + domains . my log files for each domain is located as such : /websites/ domain.com/logs/doamin.com_access_log. Currently i am using apache's rotatelog command and it allow to set a max size to your log and rotate it but doesn't delete old logs files. Is it possible to write a script in the httpd-vhost.conf file to delete logs after it reaches certain time frame !!! -- Regards Agnello Dsouza www.linux-vashi.blogspot.com www.bible-study-india.blogspot.com
