You should bounce the listener.

Reload doesn't close/reopen the file.  Here is a couple solutions  

How's about a fast cat/clear solution:

#!/bin/ksh
cat listener.log >>listener.log.hist
ex listener.log <<EOF
1,\$d
wq
EOF

Or if you wish to purge 90% of the file:

#!/bin/ksh
wc -l listener.log | read v_lines junk
v_keep=$(($((${v_lines} * 10)) / 100))
v_purge=$((${v_lines} - ${v_keep}))
ex listener.log <<EOF
1,${v_purge}d
wq
EOF

On Thu, 24 May 2001,Tirumala, Surendra scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:

->Hi List,
->As a regular maintainance work,I have moved the listener.log file to
->listener.log.old
->and 'touch'ed the listener.log, expecting the logging into this new file.
->But I am observing the logging being done to listener.log.old, instead.
->I could not recall any such previous experience.
->FYI, I cannot do any 'experiments' as far as this system is concerned as I
->have to deal with
->desupported HP-UX(10.01), Oracle (7.2.2.3).
->I have my logging being done to default path($ORACLE_HOME/network/log), as
->no parameter settings in listener.ora.
->Has anybody experienced this?

The file handle listener is using is still pointed at the old file.  To fix this you need to stop and start the listener.  This will not affect anybody who is already connected.  I'm not sure if a reload will do the same thing.
