Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to Force a File Handle to Point to a New File? Post 302970867 by Don Cragun on Tuesday 12th of April 2016 07:12:53 PM

You can't force a running program to flush its internal buffers, close a file, and open a new file unless the code for that program was written with code to make that happen. Some system monitoring programs are designed to rotate log files when they receive a certain signal. The documentation for your system monitoring program should describe any such mechanism it provides. If your developer didn't provide such a mechanism and you need it to satisfy your users, file an enhancement request.
