Send and Receive Log Deletion command

Every time sending or receiving of a file is carried out, the Send Log file and the Receive Log file store a log record. Delete unnecessary data at regular intervals.

Syntax for the Send and Receive Log Deletion command

utllog {-s|-r|-a} [-id fileid] [-h hostname] [[-from Date1] [-to Date2] 
        [-i]|-day n|-lastweek|-lastmonth]
