[SOLVED] file size automatically truncating

divyashree · 03-21-2014, 04:49 AM

In a perl script I am storing the output to a logfile with STDOUT and STDERR. But the file size automatically trucating when it reached 22Kb. I want it as 1MB. Is there any system variable which is controlling the size ?

I do not think so (there is no such system variable). You can easily try to create files with perl or awk or whatever to check it.

I was using ">" instead of ">>" with STDOUT.

Completely understandable mistake. Happens all the time.
