Is your daemon writing to a log file (in, say, /var/log)? If that's the case, you might want to look at logrotate.

Hello tronayne,

you mean if log files are huge, then if i try to do fopen , then it is a problem

Uh, yeah.

You're getting an error that tells you that you have a file that's too big; find it, either delete it or empty it with

Code:

cat > file
^D

If you don't know how to find large files, here's a way to do that:

Code:

su -
<root password>
find / -size +1G -exec ls -l {} \;

That will find files greater than 1 G in size; if you don't find any that way, change 1G to 500M.
