What happens if you lose the alert log?

Hi,

    I had a situation yesterday where a rogue process wrote millions of
error messages into the alert log. I was able to get rid of the process,
then delete the error messages out. But it would have been quicker to just
blow it away and create a new, empty one. I was concerned as to the effect
that would have on Oracle. Would it bring Oracle down? What is the best way
to handle this?
