Use the run level editor in YaST.
While we are on the subject, does anyone have any favorite scripts, suggestions, other than getting rid of all of the old (huge) log files?(assuming I get it running of course :-)
Huh, that is what logrotate is for. Please refer to its manpage for the syntax of the config files (/etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/*).
OK, Thanks for replying. I have reviewed the man page and while informative, is not very explicit. Evidently I should have made myself a little clearer. Specifically, I have over 6 months of wtemp-(date) in /var/log I would like to get rid of other than by going in and doing it manually. I also have 3 sets of Xfree86 logs, and their backups, .0.log, .1.log, and .99.0.log dating back to July. I was asking how other list members handled this in a cron job. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Bob s.
