I agree that there's a lot there that can and should be cleaned out.
But I'm not sure I should do anything that affects current journal
files, and there are a few. I looked at the man page. Maybe I'm
incorrectly understanding the --rotate, --update-catalog, and --sync,
but it looks like it will affect currently active log files. My
"/run/log/journal/" is empty, so the --flush is not needed. So how do I
safely clean out everything predating a specific date?
Is there a way (an app, a tool) to have logs automatically removed once
they're a certain number of days old? I completely shutdown every night.
thanks,
Bill.
