UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I've worked out that my server was getting clogged with the access_log.processed file.

I deleted it using the command
> /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/statistics/logs/access_log.processed

I also set that up as a crontab job for every Wednesday.

What I was wondering is the version using some wildcard to delete the file off every domain on the server.

I tried

> /var/www/vhosts/*/statistics/logs/access_log.processed

but it says ambiguous redirect.

Thanks,
Travis

find would be an easier option, somethikng like this should work.

Code:

find /var/www/vhosts/ -type f -name access_log.processed -exec rm {} +

Nice one thanks.

Just another thought. Should I delete all processed files?

So use

find /var/www/vhosts/ -type f -name *.processed -exec rm {} +

?

you could, but if you use a wildcard you will need to quote it, so "*.processed", not *.processed

Thanks

That should work.
I'll find out on Wednesday. :-)
