Hi,
My /var/log/mail.err is very big due to a misconfiguration error.
However, I can't simply remove it because it is "owned" by rsyslogd:
$ lsof | grep mail.err
rsyslogd 4387 root 10w REG 8,9 17605899
247416 /var/log/mail.err
So, how to properly empty log files?
thanks
logrotate -f should do it
or remove/rename the file and then restart syslog and reload the mail
daemon (postfix,exim,ect)
