Hallo

Does anyone know of a easy way to clear a log file without deleting it?

Doesn't a search on google suggest a possible solution? First result I found:

Code:

> /path/to/log

This clears the file and keeps permissions intact.

Logrotate is also a very viable solution that I'd venture to guess is probably more of what you want than to clear the file (assuming you are keeping decent tabs on your system

)

Cool
