Comment 1 for bug 406082

I took the decision that it wouldn't be the job of the history daemon to take care of HD space because that really is the job of the root/admin user. The history daemon's job is to just log stuff for future access.

If you look near the end of /adm/obj/master.c you will see the function log_file() which moves stuff into the archive directory when the log file gets too big.

I have this in my crontab to make the archive directory smaller...

-- crontab --

# At 5 minutes to midnight each day run this.
# bzip2's all un-compressed files.
55 23 * * * find /usr/local/muds/sapid/main/lib/log/archive -type f ! -name "*.bz2" -exec bzip2 -9f {} \; 2>&1 > /dev/null

# On the 1st day of the month at midnight run this.
# Removes all files over 28 days old.
0 0 1 * * find /usr/local/muds/sapid/main/lib/log/archive/* -maxdepth 0 -mtime +28 -exec rm -rf {} \;
