Thanks, Ravi! I will try these. Will this work on Ubuntu also? I have a hosting running on Ubuntu also.

In reply to Francis. @Francis, I hope this would help you to clear logs in CentOS Linux.

#!/bin/bash
# this script clear logs in Linux (made in CentOS)
cd /var/log
truncate -s 0 /var/log/*log
find . -name "*.gz" -type f -delete
find . -name "*.0" -type f -delete
find . -name "*.1" -type f -delete
find . -name "*.log.*" -type f -delete

Hi!

I am looking for scripts to clean up the logs/cache, what to do when the disk gets 90%, managing the memory, basic directory structure for the centos server. Can someone help me find these? I am using Plesk in ionos. Very often space becomes an issue and server crashes. I am a newbie to the server admin. Thanks in advance for your help.
