Clearing all the log files.

Hi,
How can I clear all the logs in /var/log/audit..?
Deleting one by one creating a long time..
Is it possible to configure to delete it automatically..?

Code:

# > /var/log/audit/audit.log

or

Code:

# cat /dev/null > /var/log/audit/audit.log

put it in a cron job

Use logrotate or tmpwatch, both come with just about every distro.
