Hello,

a) What does this command show currently:

# getacl spu0.log

It looks like the audit trail is locked and does not allow other process to remove the record in it.

b) Also, how does the auditing look:

# audsys

If you can afford it, you can alwsy stop ther auditing for a second and remove/move the file then.

Cheers,

>spu0.log: Cannot create the specified file.

I assume you are root? And /var/.audit/audtrail.20111230_0118/ isn't over NFS?

What does "bdf /var/.audit/audtrail.20111230_0118" show?

You can always do rm -rf.

And if too many, you can script it with find.

How many do you want to keep. How many to delete?

Thanks for advice.

I want to delete 2000 directories.

But one thing

when we clear logs

Example:---------

> /var/.audit/audtrail.20111230_0118/spu0.log

its clears the file content not delete the file or dir.

Is any shortcut process to clear the 2000 files content unde /var/.audit/sub-dir-name/spu0.log (not one by one)

if any process to tell me.otherwise,

tell me rm -rf delete process.

Thanks for advanced.

Sure, you write a script:

for log in /var/.audit/*/spu0.log; do

> $log

done
