Re: log roatation / delete for virtual domains

Rotatelogs, as far as I know, does not delete logs. It merely rotates them. If you want to delete for size, you could do some fancy work with 'ls', cut out the size, compare it to a specific number you want, and then delete it if it is over that size.

That seems kludgy though. What I do is use find on the directory and use -ctime +N where 'N' is the number of days you want logs to stick around. Then you can pipe it through |xargs rm -f. This will delete any logs that have been around since N days after creation.

HI
 
I have atleast 20 virtual host on my Apache ( 2.2.8 ) server and am having a difficulty in deleting the logs after it reaches a certain limit. 
my vhost directive look something like this : 

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.244:80>
ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ServerName agnello.sys.qualiproj.qualispace.com
ServerAlias www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.qualispace.com
DocumentRoot /websites/agnello.com/web
ErrorLog /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.error_log
CustomLog /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.access_log combined
TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.access_log 5M"
TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.error_log 5M"

</VirtualHost>
 
 
Is it possible to delete the logs ( with Apache's rotatelog command ) after the log file  reaches a certain size limit.
 
thanks
