can i safely delete listener.log ?? will it recreate back?

[ngwh]

hi,
As I am unable to find further info on the above topic..was wondering if i could seek some advice here?

If i delete the listener.log will it recreate back? reason for deleting it's because it's accumulating in size

thank-u in advance

Sure, you can. In case of Windows OS, stop linstener first.

yup ok. But Can't I just delete that file so that it'll recreate itself again like Alert.log ??

The os will not allow it to be deleted as it will be in use when the listener is up, so just

1. stop listener
2. delete/rename file
3. start listener

HTH.

That is the best way to do it because even if you delete the LISTENER.LOG, the file will be recreated only after stopping and starting the listener.

The best way (IMHO) to do it is to leave the listener up and
1. stop logging (lsnrctl set log_status off)
2. del/mv file
3. start logging (lsnrctl set log_status on)
