HI All

I accidentally delete log files which located in

/var/log/cups/error_log
/var/log/cups/access_log

The system seems like not generate again for the file and after i deleted the log file, the disk space doesn't increase.

Please help...

Disk space doesn't increase because the file is still open, its not really deleted ( 'unlinked' ) until the prog releases it.
Try

Code:

service cups restart

or whatever the equiv is on your distro.
(Please add distro name/version to your profile for future ref)
