Hi, Our gdata.log file has gotten quite large (6.4G) and contributed to problems we experienced due to a full /var area. Is there a recommended/safe way to reduce the size of this file? As an example would I come to grief trying: mv gdata.log gdata.log.1; touch gdata.log Then moving gdata.log.1 to another area? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Pat Haley Email: phaley at mit.edu Center for Ocean Engineering Phone: (617) 253-6824 Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Fax: (617) 253-8125 MIT, Room 5-222B http://web.mit.edu/phaley/www/ 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139-4301
