Oh yeah, that's true-- totally forgot to wipe the error log. I just
whipped the above up :) I have something else on the server without
command line params that I wrote ages ago :) As for a huge file, unless
you set PHPs memory high it should just bail with a fatal memory
exhaustion error. A better script would gzip the log file and attach it
to an email.
Cheers,
