Delete logs automatically?

[Enferno]

Is there a way to have it set up to delete these logs daily or upon closing the client?
I would like them to do logs while the server is online, but delete them whenever I close the server for the day/night.

Yeah man, you really need to delete them periodically.
I myself have not found another way

I suggest you to do this modification first,

Edit ServerConfig.xml and go to "LogConfig" node and leave it as this,

<LogConfig>
    <Directories>
      <Directory name="Logging" path=".\Logs\Logging" />
      <Directory name="Logged" path=".\Logs\Logged" />
      <Directory name="ChatLogging" path=".\Logs\ChatLogging" />
      <Directory name="ChatLogged" path=".\Logs\ChatLogged" />
      <Directory name="NHNChat" path=".\Logs\NHNChatLog" />
      <Directory name="Console" path=".\Logs\" />
      <Directory name="UserDump" path=".\Logs\UserDump" />
    </Directories>
    <DisabledChatType />
  </LogConfig>

This will make that all logs will be placed at Logs folder and not in the root bin folder.

About the task,

Create a "CleanLogs.ps1" file with the following content,

Get-ChildItem -Path "D:\TERA_SERVER" -Recurse -Include *.log,*.log2 -Force | Remove-Item -Force

and create a batch file with the following content,

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& 'D:\TERA_SERVER\CleanLogs.ps1'"

Save it as CleanLogFile.bat (or what ever you want)

Then add it (CleanLogFile.bat) to your windows task scheduler

Yup, they add up real fast if you're restarting the server 10x+ a day working on things, like I do

Gets annoying, I wish they'd auto-delete upon shutting down the server each time.

Thanks, I'll try some of this as it seems mine isn't set up.

It needs to be deleted anyway, but it's worth a try.

Here's some screenshots to configure the windows task,

This will trigger the task to execute every 6hrs, if you only want to delete logs daily then uncheck "Repeat Task every..."

Good idea!! That's enough for me...
Thanks argeus99

Yeah thanks a lot for this! This will definitely help
