Larry,

Are you running multiple listener processes on the same machine? Use the "set current_listener" command to change the name of the listener log. Something like:

LOG="listener.`date '+%m%b%e%a' | tr ' ' '0'`"

Echo "set current_listener listener_ra2p" > lisncmd.lsn
Echo "set log_file $LOG"                  >> lisncmd.lsn
Echo "exit"                               >> lisncmd.lsn
Lsnrctl < lisncmd.lsn

The above worked on an NT machine for me. Haven't tried it on Unix. One thing you probably know - you can set the name of the log file - but if you stop and start the listener, I think it gets reset to the default name. So you probably want to do the above a different way:

1). Change the name of the log file to something temporary.
2). Rename the existing log file with to a dated name like you are doing
3). Change the name of the log file back to its default.

Personally, I turn listener logging off so that I don't have to deal with this issue. I turn database logon auditing on to track connections.

Good Luck!

Tom

Subject: Changing multiple listener log names

We usually like to change the name of the listener log daily. This is an easy way to see fluctuations in an application or server and easier to scan when it isn't 5G.

With something like
 # Below generates listener.10oct10fri and .log is appended to that.  LOG="listener.`date '+%m%b%e%a' | tr ' ' '0'`"  lsnrctl set log_file "$LOG"

Lots of times we've been told everyday is the same and still see 2.5 times as many connections every Friday. Same day sales team has to have orders in.

Below you can see a database that is busier on Saturdays and for some reason Thursday Mar 30th.

We've a number of servers with multiple log names but haven't been able to figure out how to get their names changed.

Like these 2 here:
  11907403 May 2 13:24 listener_ra2p.log   13546692 May 2 13:24 listener_trgp.log

Would like something like ==> listener_trgp05.may02tue.log How easy is it?
  Thanks
