Log Cleanup Cron Job
====================
Added: 2026-02-26
What: Daily cleanup of session log files in ~/.local/var/log
Problem: Hyprland, waybar, dunst, hypridle, and gammastep each create a new
timestamped log file per session (e.g., dunst-2026-02-26-050000.log). Without
cleanup these accumulate indefinitely (~270 files / 3MB as of Feb 2026).
Solution: A cron job runs daily at noon, deleting .log files older than 7 days.
Files added to archsetup:
- dotfiles/common/.local/bin/cron/log-cleanup (the script)
Installation on fresh system:
1. Symlink is created by stow/dotfile install (same as checkup, crontog)
2. Add to crontab:
crontab -e
# Add this line:
0 12 * * * $HOME/.local/bin/cron/log-cleanup
