by Truncating the serverlog do you mean the data_log (as in my case) log file of the postgresql sever ?. If thats the file you truncated than i think its not a good habit..since you might need it at some point of time for some debugging purpose in production.
You could use something like assuming there is a dummy file of 0 bytes in logs folder.. cp data_log data_log_$current_time cat logs/dummy_file>data_log gzip data_log_$current_time mv data_log_$current_time.gz logs/data_log_$current_time.gz Hope this helps Best Gourish Singbal On Apr 11, 2005 7:54 PM, Don Drake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, a vacuum on the entire DB seemed to have cleaned things up. > > No other user was logged into the server, and I certainly did not send > the signal. > > I did clean up the serverlog file by truncating it ( > serverlog) > while the DB was running, I don't think it liked that since it crashed > the DB.
