Can monthly log files be zipped up?

Post by RayProudfoot »

Steve,

I now have over 24 monthly log files since I started with Cumulus in May 2009. Once a monthly log is written to for the last time can it be zipped up or does Cumulus still require access to it for other purposes?
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

It uses them for Select-A-Graph, high/low records correction, NOAA report generation, 'This Month/Year/Period' and possibly other things that I've forgotten.

Ah, so they have to hang around then. Fair enough. You must have quite a few by now.
