Try using the less command. It works on any
sized file as a viewer. It allows you to
move around: use "Esc->" to go to the end of
the file and work your way backwards. type "h"
for help on other commands including text search.
less server.log
You can manually archive and create a new server log
by following these steps:
- Stop aolserver
- gzip the server.log
- touch server.log to create a new blank log
- chown theuser.thegroup server.log to be sure owner and group
is correct if you were logged in as root. You can
check owner/group with the usual "ls -l" directory command.
- restart aolserver.
