For the listener I had do the following to get listener
to archive its old logs
lsnrctl set log_file
$ORACLE_HOME/network/log/listener1.log
mv $ORACLE_HOME/network/log/listener.log
$ORACLE_HOME/network/log/listener.log.$QUALIFIER
lsnrctl set log_file $ORACLE_HOME/network/log/listener.log
But for alert.log it works fine with a simple mv
mv
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/$SID/bdump/alert_$SID.log
\
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/$SID/bdump/alert_$SID.log.$QUALIFIER
We are on 8.1.5.

>>>depends on the version of the database you are running.. it used
to be that yes, you could just rename it and Oracle would open a new one of
the original name when it needed to write to it.In 8.? and above,
you can no longer just rename it, Oracle now maintains an open file pointer
to it, similar to the way it handles the listener log file. So you will need
to do the same sort of tricks to the alert log as you have to do to the
listener log (make a copy then copy /dev/null to the
original)>From: "Smith, Ron L."
