The following script is one I pulled off from the list a few months ago and added a few lines. It is proving pretty useful. Note it uses the set option to redirect to a new output file

#!/bin/ksh
# Script to copy out listener.log and compress it.
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.6
export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH
COMPRESSED_FILE=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/log/listener`date
+%Y%m%d%H%M`.log
lsnrctl set log_file /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/log/listener2.log
mv /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/log/listener.log $COMPRESSED_FILE
mv /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/log/listener2.log
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/log/listener.log
lsnrctl set log_file /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/log/listener.log
compress $COMPRESSED_FILE
#
# now remove all compressed listener logs older than 10 days
#
find /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/log/list*.Z -mtime +10 -print
-exec rm {} \;
A suitable crontab entry for the oracle account would be
00 19 * * * /home/oracle/tidy_listener_log.sh >
/home/oracle/tidy_listener_log.log 2>&1

Subject: Re: Listener problems
once clients are connected, you can shut down the listener... all that
means is that no one else can connect once it is down.
size of listener.log is OS dependent, it's just a file on disk. You
can recreate it by
shutting down the listener
renaming or deleting the listener.log file
starting up the listener
