Hi Matt,

If I remember correctly, I did use 'cp /dev/null listener.log' as my last straw to get my listner log regenerated, but without success.

My question is : what is the difference between 'cp /dev/null listener.log' and 'cat /dev/null > listener.log' ?

I know I still have lots to learn...unix, NT, oracle 8i, 9i, ....20i

Thanks,

Eveleen

After moving and compressing the listener.log file do a

cat /dev/null > listener.log

This will start a new listener.log with a zero size and will still be written to without starting the listener.
