RE: Re-establishing nuked log file
I don't know the answer to your question, but as a side note, I've always found cat'ing /dev/null into a file to be safer if the file may be in use cat /dev/null foo.log -Original Message- From: Jesse Sheidlower [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 10:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re-establishing nuked log file I recently restarted my MySQL server (4.0.10 in this case) with the general query log enabled, to help out with some debugging and optimization issues. After looking at a batch of these, I then deleted the log file directly, with rm foo.log, assuming that it would be re-generated as soon as the next query came in. It was not. Is there any way to get logging restarted without stopping and restarting the server itself, which is live and which I'd prefer not to interrupt? Thanks.

I misunderstood what the Manual said about this command, though I should have tried it first anyway.
