Hello Mladen, Thanks for the tips. I will try to use the korn shell. But could you help me in understanding the following syntax.

The syntax for disabling log_status of a default listener(LISTENER): lsnrctl set log_status off

Could you please let me know what is the syntax for disabling log_status of an named listener (e.g listener_phx09db1) lsnrctl set log_status off listener_phx09db1 -> This doesn’t work

Ashoke

  • You don't have to stop logging to remove the logs. Just remove it. Just do it.
  • There is a utility called "logrotate" which was written for just such things.
  • Don't start your script with "#!/bin/csh". That is a very grave style error. Scripts are started by "#!/usr/bin/env perl" or "#!/usr/bin/perl -w". C-shell is a nightmare from the past that should be forgotten, especially on Solaris which supports both logrotate and the full complement of modern shells, like bash and zsh. Even the old-fashioned Korn-shell is far better than C-shell monstrosity.
  • There is "ardrci" utility which supports "purge" command. I have never used it on listener.log since logrotate completely satisfies my needs as far as listener.log is concerned, but it works great on the RDBMS homes and even allows you clean traces, cores and log entries automatically.
  • Did I forget to tell you never to use C-shell?

I am trying to recycle the listener.log for the listener on the database server using cshell script but it is not working for me. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
