this is the script i use for running the stats and archiving the game logs for my cod2 ctf server. it doesn't clear out the console log, but i trust that the same method can be applied. just echo > logfile.<br><br>#!/bin/sh

<div><br>My 2 cents....<br><br>That's the beauty of a Linux OS, so you shouldn't have to schedule restarts (unless your running Microsoft......).<br><br>It seems there should be a configuration setting for MAXIMUM_LOGFILE_SIZE, which archives the logfile and creates a new one so you don't HAVE to restart your server at 5am.

<div><br></div>Good practice you should really restart you're server periodically, reduce game log sizes & knocks out any errors. I'm sure there are more experienced people here that can advise on a linux program that will schedule this for you, but a 5am restart will alleviate these kinds of troubles :)
