Hi all

I've taking over the managing of a Rails system (v. 1.2.3) that has been 
writing to production.log for several years now, and the log had grown to 16 
Gb, taking up half the server disc space.

I removed the logfile, doing:

$sudo mv production.log production.log.old
$sudo touch production.log
$sudo chmod 666 production.log
$sudo rm production.log.old

Everything works fine except my new log file does not get written to. Is there 
any way to restart logging without restarting Rails? The server is running 
several Ruby components as well, defined in /lib, and they also write to the 
production log.

Will I need to restart the Ruby components - or is it sufficient to kill the 
Rails processes and restart them?

I've enclosed a section of ps aux output
