I guess opensm will need to be signalled to close/reopen the log file though.

They are two different problem spaces. So ... wouldn't it be better to address the real issue? As I see it, the problem only appears if you activate opensm in the verbose mode. And the reason to run so for a long time is only if you suspect you'll want to debug something later, without killing opensm. So the ability to control verbosity at runtime will be a better solution it seems, and there are patches that do that. -- MST _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
