Unix Tip #4637- November 20, 2024
ZERO THOSE LOG FILES
Some programs write to multiple
log files in a directory and
need to be zeroed out sometimes
to save diskspace. The following
ksh shell script will zero out
all files with the ".log"
extension in a directory.
--- cut here ---
for object in *.log
do
> $object
print "$object has been zeroed!"
done
--- cut here ---
Just a little time saver when
you have 100 other things to
be doing.
