The listener.log file grows and it’s
not possible to just move the file whilst the listener is up. The tnslsnr process always holds
this log file.
Procedure 1:
LSNRCTL> set Log_status off
$ mv listener.log listener_old.log
$ touch listener.log
LSNRCTL> set Log_status on
Procedure 2: Create batch script like below and
schedule to run once a week
$ more truncate_listener.sh
cd /u00/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/log/
cp listener.log
/u00/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/log/backup/listener_`date '+%Y%m%d'`.log
echo > listener.log
Procedure 3: Stop Listener logs
set LOGGING_LISTENER=OFF in the listener.ora file to stop the listener logging.
