<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="q">i know there is a command that will clear the content of a file without
deleting it, but i can not remember what it is<br>
<br></span><span class="q">
i know i have done this on a log file while on the phone with a Oracle tech
support person<br>
<br>
i have very large error_log on this test apache box, and i am trying to debug
whats right with my script<br>
<br>
i know tail works to see the last few lines<br>
<br>
but it would be nice to know the command that just wipes that log clean,
without deleting it and recreating it<br>
<br>
any body know the command i an thinking of?<br clear="all">
<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
