Hi, 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: $ lsof | grep mail.err rsyslogd 4387 root 10w REG 8,9 17605899 247416 /var/log/mail.err So, how to properly empty log files? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/
