Hi,

Always keep a copy (compressed or not) for you! You can empty this file by:
#> /adm/var/syslog/syslog.log
-or-
# cp /dev/null /adm/var/syslog/syslog.log

Rgds.

Dear Kunjuttan

If you want to empty the entire file, simply do the following

# cat /dev/null > /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

thanks and regards
