Clearing log files

[Seabee]

This is probably a dumb question but how do you clear log files when they are too big for the file editor? My rs.log is now 994MB.

...and also starting to use up a significant proportion of your disk space!

This appeared to work: Telnet into box, navigate to tmp directory and "rm rs.log"

I'll add automatic log file management to the package to stop it getting too big.

My rs.log is now 994MB.

I am slightly baffled as to how it could get that big . With no swap space it only has 128MiB of memory and most of that will be in use.

It's in /mod/tmp/ so on the disk.

The latest version of the rs package will truncate the log if it reaches 10MiB.
