Hi Don,

This is pretty easy. Create a bash script with the following line:

CODE

find /program/xmail/logs -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf '{}' \;

and add the bash script to your /etc/crontab, example to add:

CODE

05 01 * * * root /program/xmail/bin/rm_old_log_files.sh

Ofcourse you need to ajust the path to your needs.
