RE: Perl DBA Tools

If you are keeping any kind of statistics on connections using the listener.log, you have the potential of missing records between the time you copy it and empty it to /dev/null.  With my method, you won't loose any records.  The choice is yours.   HTH, John >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/25/01 12:55AM >>> John,   Im my script for managing the listener.log, I copy the listener to an archive area and then cat /dev/null to to current one. Will this have the same effect as moving as in your example ? Do I need also to force the listener to point to a different log file ?   Maybe I need to test some more !!   Regards Lee Robertson -----Original Message----- From: John Carlson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 April 2001 19:47 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: Perl DBA Tools How about wrapping this is 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 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/24/01 10:20AM >>> On Tuesday 24 April 2001 06:15, Rachel Carmichael wrote: > truncating listener logs -- or even starting a secondary listener, stopping > the one with the log that is too large and removing the log, then > restarting the original listener.... > Good idea.  Thanks Rachel Jared -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Jared Still   INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services    -- (858) 538-5051  FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California        -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).  You may also send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing).
