Hello, I have a problem when I remove a file which is a redirection of the std output of a process:
I launch a process and redirect output to file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./myprocess &> mylog.log Then (after a few days/weeks), I remove the mylog.log file, hoping the system will create a new fresh one. [EMAIL PROTECTED] rm -f mylog.log But the system never created again the file. After a few days, df gives 100% disk used but kdirstat (a gui tool to watch size of each folder recursivly), says 20%used. Then, if I reboot, df says 20%used also. So my question is : is there a way to rotate/remove/resize logs without: - reboot computer - stop process flishing in it The computer is used as a very critical node in our organisation (quick trading 24/24).
