I have a line like the following in my (well, actually my root) crontab
(currently for once a day execution). (Clearly, if it was needed, it
could be run more often):
echo "Cleared on $(date) by $USER cron" > /home/<user>/.xsession-errors
This seems to immediately reduce the size of the crontab file without
rebooting or killing X.
Someone else (was it Anne?), mentioned something about "tailing" the
file? What do you actually do?
