Hello,

is there any script that cleans the logs for soldat servers?

Happy new year :)

greets Shooter.

Run this in your soldatserver folder. It removes logfiles older than 14 days:

find logs -type f -iname '*.txt' -mtime +14 -print -delete

To list them first:

find logs -type f -iname '*.txt' -mtime +14 -ls

Yeah. Make this the contents of your script:

#!/bin/bash
cd FullSoldatServerPathHere
find logs -type f -iname '*.txt' -mtime +14 -print -delete

then chmod +x it and put its path in your crontab -e

Sure. Just make sure your crontab syntax is correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Overview

For easyness, you can use this to make your script run every day:
