Find the process that is writing to it. Kill that process. Remove the file. And, fix the redirection in the process that was writing to it before you restart that process.
The process will be (or will have been) running as root. There will be a redirection in that process that looks something like:
Code:
> "/dev/null 2>&1"
It should be something more like one of the following:

Hi,
I am new into UNIX shell scripting and I am wondering what is the meaning of the below text which appears at the end of each line in the ".sh" file:
> /dev/null 2>&1
For example, the line below:

How are these two different? They both prevent output and error from being displayed. I don't see the use of the "&"
echo "hello" > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "hello" > /dev/null 2>1 (3 Replies)
I apologize if this question has been answered else where or is too elementary.
I ran across a KSH script (long unimportant story) that does this:
if ; then
CAS_SRC_LOG="/var/log/cas_src.log 2>&1"
else
CAS_SRC_LOG="/dev/null 2>&1"

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
null - Create and manipulate null channels
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl
package require memchan
null
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The command described here is only available in a not-yet released version of the package. Use the CVS to get the sources.
null creates a null channel which absorbs everything written into it. Reading from it is not possible, or rather will always return zero
bytes. These channels are essentially Tcl-specific variants of the null device for unixoid operating systems (/dev/null). Transfer-
ing the generated channel between interpreters is possible but does not make much sense.
OPTIONS
Memory channels created by null provide one additional option to set or query.
-delay ?milliseconds?
A null channel is always writable and readable. This means that all fileevent-handlers will fire continuously. To avoid starvation
of other event sources the events raised by this channel type have a configurable delay. This option is set in milliseconds and
defaults to 5.
A null channel is always writable and never readable. This means that a writable fileevent-handler will fire continuously and a readable
fileevent-handler never at all. The exception to the latter is only the destruction of the channel which will cause the delivery of an eof
event to a readable handler.
