Thankyou for that information. Here is a list of log files that i added
Quote:
daily_out.log
asl.log
monthly.out
weekly.out
lastlog
windowserver.log
SerialNumberSupport.log
servermgrd.log
rsync_backup.log
crashreporter.log
ppp.log
secure.log
How can i find out which process has a handle open to that log file? If i can find out which deamon uses which log I can at least research into what the mechanism might be for each one?
