rotate logs ihs How one can limit Apache Server Log Files (IBM WebSphere HTTP Server). First of all, read the rotate_logs_IHS.pdf file in depth and make the changes accordingly to rotate logs for IHS. The effect of these changes is mentioned in the httpd.conf file.

find /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/logs/error_log.* -mmin +10 -exec rm -f {} \;
exit;

Open the shell / command terminal from Linux and type following:
crontab -l
crontabl -e
00 * * * * /opt/scripts/DeleteLogs.sh
