Hello!

Can somebody say what I should tell cron so it emties the log files and
mail them to root.

When I had redhat 3.0.3 and 4.0 cron mailed the logs.  Now I have had
4.2 for a while and cron never post anything to root.

#Remove Messages file every day and mail it to root
find /var/log/messages -size +1k -exec mail -s "{}" root < /var/log/messages \;
-exec cp /dev/null {} \;

#Remove cron Logfile every day and mail it to root
find /var/log/cron -size +1k -exec mail -s "{}" root < /var/log/cron \; -exec cp
/dev/null {} \;

Have cron run this script whenever you want.
