Thanks for the reply,
yes i already have
Code:
logrotate

for some log files,i wanted to implement this script now,till i configure all of the log files with logrotate,because the log files are really tons of them,so with a script it wil solve the issue temporarily,and give me the needed time to configure out logrotate.
Any suggestions?
