Prevent windowserver.log from filling with entries
Authored by: garythemacguy on Jul 03, '07 10:01:06AM

My windowserver.log and windowserver_last.log files are each less than 100,000 bytes long. And I use command-tab switching all the time.

My Mac is left on over-night (albeit with the HD allowed to spin down and the screen asleep). So I'm going to guess that, as noted by rogb, either the daily or weekly maintenance scripts are keeping these two files under control. (My guess is the weekly one.)

If you turn off (or sleep) your Mac overnight, then far better to use your cron script to run the appropriate "missing" maintenance script at a time when - most days at least - you can expect your Mac to be available.
