My Oracle administrator receive this message in oracle log:

Can't open log file, no timestamp available in directory.

i think this is not a unix problem !

What do you think?

Thanks.

Hi,

If it says log file, then it may not be a unix problem. Can your DBA tell what this log file is?.

I'm assuming the log file already exists?

Since you snipped it out, I'm assuming your first line has a single '>' in your redirection. The >> is append. And if the file doesn't already exist I think you'll get the same sort of message your talking about.

Blah I tested. >> should create a file if it doesn't exist. I should of tested it prior to posting. I could of sworn it wouldn't create it before. I guess my mind is going to mush. =)
