Thank you for your idea.

But running logrotate on an "as needed" basis is just as much a nuisance as restarting apache.

During a debugging session, I may want to clear the error.log file every 10 minutes

A well configured logrotate will get around most of those problems.

I have Apache running on my system for web development with php.

Apache writes to an error.log file unique for the specific web site
that I am working on.

During debugging the log file grows, and I like to clear it every now
and then.

I had to change ownership of the file to me. I five read/write to
everyone.

But when I truncate the file and save, Apache no longer writes to it.
The Apache error logs do not indicate a problem.

I restart Apache and all is good again. But this is a nuisance.

Is there a way to avoid this nuisance?

Thanks
