#140097 - 2005-05-20 11:55 PM 8 days worth of logs
operez operez Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-08-08 Posts: 75	I need to verify that all portions of my script are being executed each and every time the script runs, so I am creating a log file to log each step. I currently write out the time and date the script starts and ends, but the log file is getting big. I would like to read through the log and keep only the last 8 days worth. Has anyone done something like this, so that I don’t have to reinvent the wheel or how easy would this type of task be? Thanks.
