I got alerted over the weekend to a SQL server running out of disk space on one of its drives. Upon further inspection, several of the LOG files had grown and were filling the log drive. I went to shrink the files, but realized there must be a better way.
A little googling and I found http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/665. This script cycles through all DBs and shrinks the LOG files for each DB. Simply schedule it with the SQL Server Agent and your good to go.
declare @ssql nvarchar(4000)
set @ssql= '
if ''?'' not in (''tempdb'',''master'',''model'',''msdb'') begin
use [?]
declare @tsql nvarchar(4000) set @tsql = ''''
declare @iLogFile int
declare LogFiles cursor for
select fileid from sysfiles where status & 0x40 = 0x40
open LogFiles
fetch next from LogFiles into @iLogFile
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
set @tsql = @tsql + ''DBCC SHRINKFILE(''+cast(@iLogFile as varchar(5))+'', 1) ''
fetch next from LogFiles into @iLogFile
end
set @tsql = @tsql + '' BACKUP LOG [?] WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY '' + @tsql
--print @tsql
exec(@tsql)
close LogFiles
DEALLOCATE LogFiles
end'
exec sp_msforeachdb @ssql
