The iocLogServer process has the open file handle for writing to the log file and so will continue to write to that file even after it is mv'ed. Give the iocLogServer process a 'kill -HUP' (or 'stop' and 'start' via the logServer.init script included in base) after you mv the file. -- Steve Hartman [email protected] | 919-660-2650 Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory
