Re: OT: Server Security Crap

Does any one know how to purge Error_Logs? I have tried using the FTP, admin, and such to do so, but cannot touch the logs.

cp /dev/null error_log

Its an old admin trick. You cant delete a log while its open and being written to. You would have to shut down the server to rotate the files. But you can write to it. Doing a copy of /dev/null actually copies a zero byte file to it which basically restarts it on the fly.

A lot of backup programs copy the file to a backup version then "copy" a zero byte file over it
