Re: Archiving Snort logs

[Alex Tatistcheff <alex.tatistcheff () gmail com>]

Barnyard2 has the option:

-a <dir>   Archive processed files to <dir>

I suppose you could move them to /dev/nul (maybe) or at least once they're
moved to the archive folder you specify you know you can clean them up with
a cron job or the like.
