I tried using system("echo.> logserver.txt"); and I got the message as "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
Later, I opened the txt file and deleted the contents manually and saved it on the same place. It asked me whether to replace the existing file and I clicked Yes. This time, it got saved and the file size was 0 bytes. My question is when Im able to do it manually, why the script gives an error message? Please see that I didnt stop the service when I deleted the content and saved the file.
