Hallelujah! Give that man a cigar! I thought the FBI suggestion was incredibly neat, but this has a certain zen-like perfection to it. Woohoo....what an ace idea. > Wasted diskspace from engorged logfiles, filled with this crap. =) Errrr, yes indeed. My logfile from yesterday was an unbelieveable 2.2 MB. This is a home web server which (as was pointed out overnight) isn't exactly <ahem> overworked. I was ever so slightly taken aback when I saw the filesize this morning. May your goats and camels enjoy long lives, and bear many offspring.
