RE: purge HMC old logs

(from DeveloperWorks) :

Now to clean it up, use the command chhmcfs:

chhmcfs -o f {-d days | -h hours | -s size} [-f file-system] [--help]

The -o indicates the operation to perform, which in this case is f to free
up file system disk space. (At the current release of HMC V7R7.2 this is the
only valid value for -o). The -d indicates the number of days to keep before
today's date, so -d 0 says get rid of the lot of 'em.

chhmcfs -o f -d 0

The weekly backup of my HMC has grown to be over a GB. It is mostly old
logs. How does one purge the old logs, let's say over 90 days?
HMC version is V8R8.4.0.2
