Hi, You can truncate the listener.log without stopping the listener by doing this:
cat /dev/null > listener.log It won't interrupt the flow of information into the file because it maintains the same inode value. Regards, Mike Hately PS notice how "truncating listener.log" is more meaningful than "SIMPLE QUESTION". =) -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 6:54 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hamid, Ignore my e-mail, as I had alert_log in the brain, not listener. As for the listener, for most versions, you would have to stop the listener, remove it, then restart it.
