Why bother? You've already spent Venti space on them. On the main Plan 9 file server, we try to be careful about running mk clean when we're done in a directory, so that we don't need a cron job coming in and cleaning up after us. We rotate the log files every January 1, so we have /sys/log/mail.2003, etc. It's actually useful to have the old logs around, and it's not like deleting them would free up space. Russ
