truncate Rails development/test logs
In rails applications development.log and test.log like to grow forever, which takes up space and makes them slow to grep. If I just delete them running processes with logs open might get confused. So I can use truncate instead:
Even easier, ask cron to do it for me every night:
truncate ~/www/*/log/*.log
Even easier, ask cron to do it for me every night:
4 22 * * * * truncate -s 0k ~/www/*/log/*.log
