Locked console logs, how to delete?

Having discovered that my CanoScan scanner is writing one line of meaningless information to the console log every second, I have resolved to delete the logs. However I'm now faced with a whole bank of log files numbered from 0, then 501 to 512. I can access and read 502 (and delete it? safely? it doesn't matter?) but the others are all locked, I don't even know how big they are.
How do I delete the locked console log files? Please note - I am in the top level Library, not my user Home Library where there are no Console logs.

Hi, this is the response from Terminal...
-rw------- 1 xxxxx admin 11404 Jan 29 10:14 /Library/Logs/Console/501/console.log
(Ignore the xxxxx). Does this mean anything to you? Does it tell me that the 501 log is 11404 bytes big? What about the other files which it didn't list?
Happily though, with no warning the problem seems to have disappeared for no reason I can find. The scanner continues to work ok, but there is nothing in Login Items (I didn't remove anything), and the message in Console log has stopped.
The only thing now is to delete all those other console logs, (500, and 503 - 512). And to find out how big they are, as the Terminal command only seemed to work for 501.

  • Deleting hidden folders and console.log files

    I have heard that OS X logs activity of various programs and Applications in hidden folders/files.
    Can someone please tell me how to view and delete this information in the hidden folder(s) without compromising my OS X system?
    Also, how do I delete information in the console.log folders?
    Thank you.

    Hi Maverich!
    The invisible files & folders are hidden for a reason!
    If you don't know exactly what you are doing, you shouldn't muck about with them!
    The Mac OS X is very good at protecting us from being our own worst enemy.
    Your Mac runs Cron Scripts daily, weekly, & monthly, if the Mac is left on 24/7.
    If you prefer, you may also choose to run them manually.

    Use security software or a router with a build-in password protected logging feature if you want to keep a record of visited websites.<br />
    You can't prevent people from deleting the history and other personal (private) data in Firefox and a log elsewhere will always work even if other browser would be used.

  • *HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY*

    HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY
    I have set the RMAN CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY; on my physical standby server.
    My archivelog files are not deleted on standby.
    I have set the CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default on the Primary server.
    I've checked the archivelogs with the FRA and they are not beign deleted on the STANDBY. Do I have to do something for the configuation to take effect? Like run a RMAN backup?
    I've done a lot ofresearch and i'm getting mixed answers. Please help. Thanks in advanced.
    J

    Setting the Policy will not delete the Archive logs on the Standby. ( I found a thread where the Data Guard product manager says "The deletion policy on both sides will do what you want" ). However I still
    like to clean them off with RMAN.
    I would use RMAN to delete them so that it can use that Policy are you are protected in case of Gap, transport issue etc.
    There are many ways to do this. You can simply run RMAN and have it clean out the Archive.
    Example :
    #!/bin/bash
    # Name: db_rman_arch_standby.sh
    # Purpose: Database rman backup
    # Usage : db_rman_arch_standby <DBNAME>
    if [ "$1" ]
    then DBNAME=$1
    else
    echo "basename $0 : Syntax error : use . db_rman_full <DBNAME> "
    exit 1
    fi
    . /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/env/${DBNAME}.env
    echo ${DBNAME}
    MAILHEADER="Archive_cleanup_on_STANDBY_${DBNAME}"
    echo "Starting RMAN..."
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / catalog <user>/<password>@<catalog> << EOF
    delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-8';
    exit
    EOF
    echo `date`
    echo
    echo 'End of archive cleanup on STANDBY'
    mailx -s ${MAILHEADER} $MAILTO < /tmp/rmandbarchstandby.out
    # End of ScriptThis uses ( calls an ENV) so the crontab has an environment.
    Example ( STANDBY.env )
    ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
    ULIMIT=unlimited
    ORACLE_SID=STANDBY
    ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0.2
    ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
    LIBPATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib
    TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
    PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_BASE/dba_tool/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/lbin:/GNU/bin/make:/u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/bin:/home/oracle/utils/SCRIPTS:/usr/local/bin:.
    #export TERM=linux=80x25 wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
    export TERM=vt100
    export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM ULIMIT
    export ORACLE_HOME
    export LIBPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORA_NLS33
    export TNS_ADMIN
    export PATH
    export MAILTO=?? your email hereNote use the env command in Unix to get you settings.
    There are probably ten other/better ways to do this, but this works.
    other options ( you decide )

  • How to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control

    Hi
    Anybody suggest me how to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control.
    Thanks

    It is important to specify both, the oracle version and os version when posting, so confusions can be avoided.
    In this particular case, since you are referring to asm and grid control you could be talking about either 10gR1, 10gR2 or 11gR1; but I strongly suggest you to avoid us to be guessing. In either case, you sould go to the maintenance tab of the target database and program a scheduled 'delete noprompt obsolete;' procedure. This will purge the information stored at the Flash recovery area, which I assume you have declared inside the ASM.

  • How to delete Transaction Logs in SQL database

    Hi,
    Can any one explain me the process how to delete the transcation logs in SQL database.
    Thanks
    Sunil

    Sunil,
    Yes you can take online backup in MS SQL server.
    The transaction log files contain information about all changes made to the database. The log files are necessary components of the database and may never be deleted. Why you want to delete it?
    I am taking any backup, do i need to turn off the SAP server that is running at the moment or can i take it online
    There are three main types of SQL Server Backup: Full Database Backup, Differential Database Backup and Transaction Log Backup. All these backups can be made when the database is online and do not require you to stop the SAP system.
    Check below link for details

  • How to delete archive log on standby site

    hi
    i configured dataguard on 10g. could anyone suggest how to delete archived log on standby site..

    Hi,
    There is no automatic feature out-of-the-box but you have the following views:
    1) Shows archive logs transfered:
    select sequence#, first_time, next_time from v$archived_log order by sequence#;
    2) Shows archive logs applied:
    select sequence#, archived, applied from v$archived_log order by sequence#;
    If you see your archivelogs applied you can safely remove archive log files from your disk. It is your decision if you keep or delete them completely.

    How can I lock a message against accidental deletion?

    The safest way is to not use the Inbox for long term storage. Make folders for your important and keeper messages and move them out of the Inbox and into those folders. This also keeps your Inbox for the purpose it was designed for.
