• Deleting Radius/Argus log files?

    From Kurt Weiske@1:218/700 to All on Fri Dec 12 12:20:12 2014

    I'm writing a batch file to do a weekly backup and log deletion, and it seems that Radius holds the access_log file open, so I can't delete it while Radius is running.

    Does Argus behave similarly? Any suggestions on how to automate deleting the log file?

    Without having tested it, if you start Argus from a batch file like e.g.

    :loop
    argus.exe
    REM
    REM (do some stuff)
    REM
    goto loop

    And then have another batch file doing:

    echo. > \argus\exit.now

    ... you can do all kind of log file manipulation in the REM part. Of course it must include some check-out so that you can exit the batch file without having it going into an eternal loop, but you'll get the idea I hope?
