Delete & Flush Logs under GNU/Linux

By Kernel 7 On November 1st, 2011

As a last resort to fix log space issues, stop “syslog”, delete the logs in question, start “syslog”.
Here is an example for Debian:
/etc/init.d/rsyslog stop && rm -rf /var/log/daemon* && sync && /etc/init.d/rsyslog start

Schedule it when necessary.
