Clearing or Restarting the Daemon.log

Question

How can I restart, clear, or start over with the Daemon.log? I'd like to clear out some old junk and start fresh. Thanks, ppage

Restart NetWorker server and that should roll over the log if bigger than 4MB I believe (or 2?). Or simply stop NW and move current log to something else and after starting NW it will create new log.

Thank-You!I had to stop the 5 services. Then I had to manually End quite a few nsr processes and then it finally let me have my way with the daemon.log.

If you want to rotate daemon.log without restarting Networker daemons you can do the following under Unix OSes:

# cp daemon.log daemon.log.old
# > daemon.log

the hash-sign (#) is meant to be the console signature and should not be typed
