[X4U] Giant File Created -console.log

[Brett Conlon]

Good advice but when I found my large console log file I did just that, 
ran MacJanitor (all tasks) and the file was still there afterwards. That's 
when I manually trashed it. And this Mac was left on all night every night 
for nightly backup.

... for what it's worth.  8-}

Just run MacJanitor (or run the cron scripts in the terminal).

This has happened on an eMac that wasn't rebooted for 3 months, but 
logged out every day at 5PM.

It will take a while to finish (the 23 MB log file took about 45 
minutes to delete).

Hope this helps,

Peter
