Hi,
I've been using FFS for about a month now and find it very useful, great work!
I have a couple of batch jobs that run in silent mode & therefore create log
files.
Is there a way, (or could you update FFS), to limit the number of log files
stored?
Otherwise they just accumulate & need to be manually maintained.
It would be good to be able to select keep the last 'x' number of log files.
Thanks,
Bill

I'm not sure how to "count" the number of logfiles. Probably traverse the log-
dir and count all files that match a reg-ex-like pattern. Then sort it by date
and delete the oldest ones... kind of "messy" an algorithm.
But do we have a problem in first place? I would expect the sum of all
logfiles to consume only a little disk space, so considering common tera-byte
drives, many logfiles shouldn't be an issue.
