Server Logs

[Ryan]

I have just been put in charge of getting my companies CS:S Servers, and TF2 servers running to their full potential. When i was just doing routine checkup on the servers i noticed some of them have almost like 2000+ logs(mostly pub servers) in them.
1) How do this effect the server?
2) Is their a program I can get for free or buy that will automatically clear the logs after X days?

Thanks.

It won't have any effect, unless your HDD gets maxed out It could be a bit slower..

You can disable the logs too, by entering some specific cvar in your server settings!

Log files will have no effect on your server aside from eventually creating small fragmentation. If you're running weekly defrags, you're good to go, but if it makes you feel any better you can delete them all, or disable server logging.
I believe the cvar is "log off". Don't hold me to that.

log off is correct.
