Re: Listener.log

Hello,   Thank you very much for your responses. What i wanted to do was compressing the listener.log. It works fine as below : cp listener.log listener.log.$(date +%y%d%m) cat /dev/null > listener.log compress listener.log.$(date +%y%d%m)   Regards,   Nguyen Thanh-truc ----- Original Message ----- From: John Carlson To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 1:45 AM Subject: RE: Listener.log For those of you who did not see my response in the thread of "Perl DBA Tools" I will repeat it here, it answers this thread as well.  Also, there is no need to shutdown the database to bounce the listener.   How about wrapping this in a script of your choice:   ARCHIVE_LISTENER_FILENAME=listener`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.log lsnrctl set log_file listener2.log mv listener.log $ARCHIVE_LISTENER_FILENAME mv listener2.log listener.log lsnrctl set log_file listener.log gzip $ARCHIVE_LISTENER_FILENAME   This way, you don't have to stop the listener and you don't loose anything.  Remember, in Unix, when you rename a file, any program that has it open still points to it.   Regards, John
