Hi.

Actually I'm new to dedicated servers, got my server few days and while discovering what are things in my box I found (suexec_log) with over 200 MB !

If I'm not mistaken it's a log for the root actions? figure out this from su and log.. maybe I'm wrong.

my question is how to clear this log file. 200 MB in few days that means I have to empty it several times a month?

thanks

This is the log file for Apache's suexec mechanism. (suexec takes care of running CGI scripts with a particular user's permissions, rather than the web server's.) There will be an entry in here each time a CGI script runs.

It's probably not necessary to log this information on a dedicated server - you should ask your host about getting a copy of suexec not compiled to log.
