Interview question
A process(apache/webservice) is continually writing a log(it is a single log, there are no several logs with different file names) onto a unix system.
the file system is filling up. How do you handle the situation.
Is there a way to handle this situation without killing the parent process.( killing the process is not an option)
and what is the best way to split the continually written log.
