I agree that there's a lot there that can and should be cleaned out.  But I'm not sure I should do anything that affects current journal files, and there are a few.  I looked at the man page. Maybe I'm incorrectly understanding the --rotate, --update-catalog, and --sync, but it looks like it will affect currently active log files.  My "/run/log/journal/" is empty, so the --flush is not needed.  So how do I safely clean out everything predating a specific date?

Is there a way (an app, a tool) to have logs automatically removed once they're a certain number of days old?  I completely shutdown every night.

thanks,
Bill.
