Once you've deleted the logfile the only thing you can do is to stop and
start the application.
Thsi will create a new logfile.
But next time when it's growing out of hand do the cp /dev/null trick.
If you're are keen to keep the log file, write a little script that makes a
copy of it and then does the /dev/null trick to the original file.
You can have this script running from cron perhaps once a week or so.
The reason why it behaves like this is because the original application
keeps track of the logfile pointer by inode.
Cheers,
Frits.

OK, so what should I do now? Can I just start a new file with the same
name as the one I deleted using "touch"? =20

Normally it's not a good thing to just delete the log file.
Logging carries on as per normal to the file you've just deleted but now
you
can't see it any more.
A better way of reducing(emptying) the log file is to do a 'cp /dev/null
logfilename'.
Cheers,
Frits.
