got a error.log on server - linux 14.04 an would like to learn how to remove/empty log file
/home/xtr3amcod3s/lptv_xtr3am_cod3s/logs
Theres an Error.log there that gets filled up quick, is there a script to write or something i can do, example if it reaches 2 gigs - empty, by it self.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe one of the following
- a cron job that
cat /dev/null > /home/xtr3amcod3s/lptv_xtr3am_cod3s/logs/Error.log - turn off logging in your application
- if you need the log, then use logrotate

I read somewhereecho > /pathname/filename.logwill also work.

That works too! My thought though is that the log file is created and enabled for a reason. With that in mind, I would ensure I configure logrotate to rotate my file when reaches 2GB, restrict the number of log files to 2 or 3, then use compress or delaycompress to save space.
