The logs kept piling up, so...

[Chanchao]

I noticed all the crap piling up in /var/log and /var/cache pretty much
uncontrolled, so I did a ' sudo rm -r /var/log/* '  but it turns out a
lot of packages don't like this at all and are unable to recreate their
own logs!  I fixed it for apache2, but mysql I'll probably have to
reinstall as it keeps giving me errors when starting mysqld, even though
I did recreate a 'mysql' folder in /var/log

Is there a better way to stop logs from piling up and suffocating
everything?

Cheers,
