[Zope] Purging Z2.log

[Gilles Lenfant]

I use this script.
You can replace 400 by the number of lines you want to keep.
You can put in in your crontab too

<script>
#!/bin/sh
VARDIR=/var/zope
tail -n 400 $VARDIR/Z2.log > $VARDIR/newZ2.log
mv $VARDIR/newZ2.log $VARDIR/Z2.log
</script>

Other option: you could use the logrotate facility too (man logrotate)
