Hello Everyone,
I normally clear my mail.log file by....
1) /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
2) touch /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
3) reboot the system
The question is, does it hurt to do this during live production and not reboot the system? I need to clear this file but I cannot reboot the system for several weeks, unless something castastrophic happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tim
