My /var/log/mail.err is very big due to a misconfiguration error. However, I can't simply remove it because it is "owned" by rsyslogd:

So, how to properly empty log files?

Hi,

If you dont want to :
- restart syslog
- keep the information in the file

you can "truncate" the file with the folowing bash line :
> /var/log/mail.err

or the following portable line :
echo > /var/log/mail.err
