Hi,
Thanks for the notes
Good to know that!
The problem is solved after restarting the process to force recreating the log in a clean manner.
It looks that my intervention to free it by redirecting /dev/null to it, caused this issue I think!
Anyway after removing it and starting the process, I was able to apply logadm on it with no problem using the same command.
Thanks.

My logadm.conf is below. Is there a way to match a log file that appends the time/date stamp after the log file? Also, a 0 is being appended onto the files I'm compressing and having rotated. Is there a way to fix that?
